Abstract excerpt
Genetic basis and network studies underlying synergistic biomass accumulation of roots and shoots (SBA) are conducive for rational design of high-biomass rice breeding. In this study, association signals for root weight, shoot weight, and the ratio of root-to-shoot mass (R/S) were identified using 666 rice accessions by genome-wide association study, together with their sub-traits, root length, root thickness and...
