Dissection and fine-mapping of two QTL for grain size linked in a 460-kb region on chromosome 1 of rice

Abstract Background Grain size is a key determinant of grain weight and a trait having critical influence on grain quality in rice. While increasing evidences are shown for the importance of minor-effect QTL in controlling complex traits, the attention has not been given to grain size until recently...
