Abstract excerpt
Crop breeding assembles genomic variants into cultivars via crossing and selection. Phenotypic selection has improved yield and lodging tolerance but has limited genetic insights. We show how specific genomic variants and their combinations underpin advances in modern rice breeding in Japan. Through genome-wide association study using a multi-parent advanced-generation intercross population derived from four...
