Genome-Wide Association Mapping for Yield and Yield-Related Traits in Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Using SNPs Markers.

ABSTRACT: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food for more than 50% of the world's population. Rice cultivar improvement is critical in order to feed the world's growing population. Improving yield is one of the main aims of rice breeders. However, yield is a complex quantitative trait controlled by many genes. The presence of genetic diversity is the key factor to improve the yield hence, the presence of diversity in any germplasm is important for yield improvement. In the current study, the rice germplasm was collected from Pakistan and the United States of America and a panel of 100 diverse genotypes was utilized to identify important yield and yield-related traits. For this, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed to identify the genetic loci related to yield. The GWAS on the
