Association between sequence variants in panicle development genes and the number of spikelets per panicle in rice
Abstract Background Balancing panicle-related traits such as panicle length and the numbers of primary and secondary branches per panicle, is key to improving the number of spikelets per panicle in rice. Identifying genetic information contributes to a broader understanding of the roles of gene and...
