Deskripsi

AbstractRoot system architecture (RSA) is a crucial factor in resource acquisition and plant productivity. Roots are difficult to phenotype in the field, thus new tools for predicting phenotype from genotype are particularly valuable for plant breeders aiming to improve RSA. This study identifies quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for RSA and agronomic traits in a rice (Oryza sativa
