Abstract excerpt
Leaf thickness in rice critically influences photosynthetic efficiency and yield, yet its genetic basis remains poorly understood, with few functional genes previously characterized. In this study, we employ a pangenome-wide association study (Pan-GWAS) on 302 diverse rice accessions from southern China, identifying 49 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with leaf thickness. The most significant locus,...
