Genome-wide association study and Mendelian randomization analysis provide insights for improving rice yield potential

Abstract Rice yield per plant has a complex genetic architecture, which is mainly determined by its three component traits: the number of grains per panicle (GPP), kilo-grain weight (KGW), and tillers per plant (TP). Exploring ideotype breeding based on selection for genetically less complex compone...
