Abstract excerpt
Rice production is shifting from transplanting seedlings to direct sowing of seeds. Following heavy rains, directly sown seeds may need to germinate under anaerobic environments, but most rice (Oryza sativa) genotypes cannot survive these conditions. To identify the genetic architecture of complex traits, we quantified percentage anaerobic germination (AG) in 2,700 (wet-season) and 1,500 (dry-season) sequenced...
