Genomic prediction of rice mesocotyl length indicative of directing seeding suitability using a half-sib hybrid population.

Abstract excerpt

Direct seeding has been widely adopted as an economical and labor-saving technique in rice production, though problems such as low seedling emergence rate, emergence irregularity and poor lodging resistance are existing. These problems are currently partially overcome by increasing seeding rate, however it is not acceptable for hybrid rice due to the high seed cost. Improving direct seeding by breeding is seen as...
