Project Title

Genome-Wide Association Mapping for Yield and Other Agronomic Traits in an Elite Breeding Population of Tropical Rice (Oryza sativa)

The Background of This Project

Figure 1 Population structure of current association panel which consisted mostly of the indica accessions. (A) Scree plot from GAPIT showing the selection of PCs for association study. (B) PCA plot of first two components. (C) Bayesian clustering of 220 rice accessions using STRUCTURE program.

Research Findings

Table 1 Narrow-sense heritabilities (h 2 ) for the two validation season, 2012 dry season (DS 2012) and the 2012 wet season (WS 2012). YLD = grain yield, FL = days to 50% flowering, PH = plant height.
