Genetic basis and network underlying synergistic roots and shoots biomass accumulation revealed by genome-wide association studies in rice

Abstract Genetic basis and network studies underlying synergistic biomass accumulation of roots and shoots (SBA) are conducive for rational design of high-biomass rice breeding. In this study, association signals for root weight, shoot weight, and the ratio of root-to-shoot mass (R/S) were identifie...
