QTL mapping using an ultra-high-density SNP map reveals a major locus for grain yield in an elite rice restorer R998

Abstract To dissect the genetic basis of yield formation in restorer line of hybrid rice, we conducted QTL analysis for 6 yield traits including panicles per plant (PPP), grains per panicle (GPP), grain yield per plant (GY), thousand-grain weight (TGW), above-ground biomass (AGB), and harvest index...
