Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of molecular genetics and breeding, and relates to a molecular marker method for rice grain length main QTL sites, which is specially used for molecular marker-assisted improvement of rice variety grain length, molecular marker-assisted yield breeding and utilization of germplasm resources. Background technique
[0002] As the world's population grows, rice, a staple food crop, faces an urgent need to increase yields. In order to meet the needs of human beings, rice genetic breeders have conducted more and more in-depth research on rice yield and grain shape.
[0003] Yield traits are quantitative traits controlled by polygenes, which show continuous variation and are greatly affected by the environment. Among the intricate yield factors, direct constituent factors include grain weight, number of spikelets per panicle, effective panicle number and seed setting rate. In addition, plant height, tiller number, panicle ...
