Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on analyzing genomic and phenotypic data from a diverse collection of 1,275 rice accessions, primarily consisting of popular Chinese rice cultivars and hybrid lines.
- The collection is categorized into three indica and three japonica subgroups that reflect their geographic and breeding origins, with extensive phenotypic data covering 29 agronomic traits collected across various environments.
- Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the study identifies 143 significant genetic loci related to important traits such as heading date and amylose content, highlighting underutilized favorable alleles that could enhance future rice breeding.
