Abstract excerpt
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is known for its inherent tolerance to highly acidic soils, yet the underlying genetic and physiological mechanisms, particularly for iron (Fe) toxicity tolerance, remain insufficiently characterised. Although several quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes (CGs) associated with Fe-toxicity tolerance have been identified, their fine mapping is unresolved. In this study, we...
