Article Synopsis
- To enhance rice yields in direct seeded conditions, it’s important to develop rice varieties with strong weed competitiveness, which involves studying traits at both the physical and genetic levels.
- Researchers identified 72 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) linked to 33 weed competitive traits in a population derived from O. glaberrima and O. sativa, revealing significant genetic variation and additive gene action.
- Among the significant findings, 59 major QTLs were linked to important traits, with many favorable alleles coming from the O. glaberrima parent, highlighting its potential as a source for breeding more competitive rice varieties.
