Effectiveness of KASP-SNP markers in selecting for grain quality traits in rice por Asante, Maxwell Darko, Ofosu, Kirpal Agyemang, Frimpong, Felix, Alphonso, Deladem Kwami, Nartey, Elizabeth, Obeng, Agyei Elvis, Bam, Ralph K., Gamenyah, Daniel D., Ribeiro, Priscilla F., William, Harindra Manilal

“…Two SNP markers (snpOS00440 and snpOS00441) associated with the GW5/SW5 gene each explained 82 % of the phenotypic variation for grain width, which increased marginally to 85 % when combined. However, two markers, snpOS00036 and snpOS00450, for gelatinization temperature explained only 2 % and 25 % of the phenotypic variation, respectively, indicating that these markers were not efficient in predicting this trait. …”
