Identification of putative markers linked to grain plumpness in rice (Oryza sativa L.) via association mapping

Abstract Background Poor grain plumpness (GP) is one of the main constraints to reaching the yield potential of hybrid rice. Results In this study, the GP of 177 rice varieties was investigated in three locations across 2 years. By combining the genotype data of 261 simple sequence repeat (SSR) mark...
