Validation of genes affecting rice mesocotyl length through candidate association analysis and identification of the superior haplotypes by Wang, Yamei, Liu, Hongyan, Meng, Yun, Liu, Jindong, Ye, Guoyou

“…In this study, 281 genes related to plant hormones at the genomic regions associated with ML were selected and evaluated by single-locus mixed linear model (SL-MLM) and multi-locus random-SNP-effect mixed linear model (mr-MLM) in two breeding panels (Trop and Indx) originated from the 3K re-sequence project. Furthermore, superior haplotypes with longer mesocotyl were also identified for marker assisted selection (MAS) breeding. …”
