Abstract excerpt
Recent climate change and frequent extreme weather events during the maturation period of rice exacerbate lodging and threaten stable production. Samkwang, a widely cultivated rice variety in Korea, is particularly vulnerable to lodging due to its tall stature. To improve lodging tolerance while preserving Samkwang’s elite genetic background, we identified an SMXL4-edited line (smxl4) with reduced culm length and...
