Unraveling candidate genomic regions responsible for delayed leaf senescence in rice.

Photosynthates generated after heading contributes to 60% - 80% of grain yield in rice. Delay in leaf senescence can contribute to a long grain-filling period and thereby increased yield. The objective of this study was to identify genomic region(s) responsible for delayed leaf senescence (DLS) and...
