Identification of a candidate gene for panicle length in rice (Oryza sativa L.) via association and linkage analysis

Panicle length (PL) is an important trait for improving panicle architecture and grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Three populations were used to identify QTLs and candidate genes associated with PL. Four QTLs for PL were detected on chromosomes 4, 6 and 9 through linkage mapping in the recombi...
