Article Synopsis
- Over 162 local rice varieties from Indochinese countries were analyzed for seven grain-size traits, revealing significant variation among them.
- Researchers conducted a survey of mutations related to these traits, utilizing 19 genetic markers to identify functional mutations affecting 14 grain-size loci.
- The study highlights the importance of these local rice varieties as genetic resources for future breeding efforts due to their wide genetic diversity.
Role of qGZn9a in controlling grain zinc concentration in rice, Oryza sativa L.
Theor Appl Genet
September 2021
A candidate gene responsible for higher grain zinc accumulation in rice was identified, which was probably associated with a partial defect in anther dehiscence. Zinc (Zn) is an essential mineral element in many organisms. Zn deficiency in humans causes various health problems; therefore, an adequate dietary Zn intake is required daily.
