 *In this study, 469 indica accessions collected from 20 countries (Fig. 1a) were used as the GWAS panel The germplasm resources maintain rich mesocotyl elongation and shoot length variations (Fig. 1b–d), and the phenotypic variations are summarized in Table 1and supplementary Table S4.

 *In total, 52 accessions, which were divided into two groups, one with long and the other with short mesocotyl lengths, were selected to analyze the POE and SOE. SOE was the average POE per day before the germination rate stopped significantly increasing. The sowing depths of 2 and 5 cm represent shallow overburden and deep seeding,respectively. The results are summarized in Fig. 2.The mesocotyl lengths between the two groups were highly different independent of the sowing depth (Fig. 2a). For the 2-cm sowing depth, the POE of the long mesocotyl accessions was significantly greater than that of the short mesocotyl accessions, reaching 90.76 % (Fig. 2b).For the SOE trait, regardless of the sowing depth, the long mesocotyl group had a higher emergence rate than that of the short one (Fig. 2c).

 ==The Background of This Project==
-*Direct-seeding cultivation is becoming popular in rice(Oryza sativa L.)-planting countries because it is labor- and time-efficient. However, low seedling establishment and slow seedling emergence have restricted the application and popularity of the technique. Mesocotyl elongation and shoot length are two important traits that can enhance rice seedling emergence. A single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) is a genome sequence variation caused by a single base within a population, and SNPs evenly distributed throughout the genomes of plant species. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS), based on 4136 SNPs, was performed using a compressed mixed linear model that accounted for population structure and relative kinship to detect novel loci for the two traits.
