Paper Summary

A study on rice genotypes found that traits like productive tillers per plant, kernel breadth, and yield per plant showed the most variability. Productive tillers and yield per plant had high heritability and genetic advance. Plant height, productive tillers, grain weight, and length/breadth ratio were positively linked to grain yield. Productive tillers had the strongest direct impact on yield.
