Converging QTL mapping with MutMap identifies novel genomic regions associated with strong culm in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Puntos clave

• Identifying novel genomic regions improves our understanding of rice strength traits.
• A significant QTL mapping approach led to the discovery of these genomic associations.
• Assessment using qtl mapping and MutMap helped locate regions crucial for culm strength.
• Findings may enable targeted breeding strategies for stronger rice cultivars.
