“…Several SNP arrays with varying densities already exist in rice enabling high-throughput genotyping, which include 44 K ( Zhao et al, 2011 ), 6 K ( Yu et al, 2014 ), 50 K ( Singh et al, 2015 ), 700 K ( McCouch et al, 2016 ), and 7 K ( Thomson et al, 2017 ). GWAS is routinely utilized for mapping biotic ( Li et al, 2019 ; Hada et al, 2020 ), abiotic ( Rohilla et al, 2020 ; Yuan et al, 2020 ), and grain quality ( Misra et al, 2019 ; Tang et al, 2019 )-related attributes in rice. Even though vast genetic variation was reported for RSHT in rice, it has not been properly utilized for identifying MTAs through a GWAS.…”
