Abstract excerpt
Chalkiness is a critical trait that negatively affects rice grain appearance, milling quality, cooking properties, and consumer acceptance, and its incidence is increasing under climate change as elevated temperatures during grain filling become more frequent. As a complex quantitative trait shaped by strong genotype × environment interactions, heat-induced chalkiness arises from coordinated disruption of...
