Meta-analysis of QTLs and candidate genes associated with seed germination in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

ABSTRACT: Seed germination is one of the critical stages of plant life, and many quantitative trait loci (QTLs) control this complex trait. Meta-analysis of QTLs is a powerful computational technique for estimating the most stable QTLs regardless of the population's genetic background. Besides, this analysis effectively narrows down the confidence interval (CI) to identify candidate genes (CGs) and marker development. In the current study, a comprehensive genome-wide meta-analysis was performed on QTLs associated with germination in rice. This analysis was conducted based on the data reported over the last two decades. In this case, various analyses were performed, including seed germination rate, plumule length, radicle length, germination percentage, coleoptile length, coleorhiza length, radicle f
