Genome-Wide Association Study of Pericarp Color in Rice Using Different Germplasm and Phenotyping Methods Reveals Different Genetic Architectures

Abstract excerpt

Pericarp colors (PC) in rice are determined by the types and content of flavonoids in the pericarp. The flavonoid compounds have strong antioxidant activities and are beneficial to human health. However, the genetic basis of PC in rice is still not well-understood. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of PC was performed in a diverse rice collection consisting of 442 accessions using different...
