Investigation of Imidazolinone Herbicide Resistance Gene with KASP Markers for / Rice Varieties in the Huanghuaihai Region of China.

Rice is a staple food for more than half of the global population due to its food security and sustainable development. Weeds compete with crops for sunlight and indispensable nutrients, affecting the yield and quality of crops. Breeding herbicide-tolerant rice varieties paired with herbicide application is expected to help with weed control.
