New Rice Study Reveals Key Traits for Higher Yields and Quality
The study looked at different traits in 27 types of rice to see how they affect yield and quality. They found that traits like plant height, filled seeds per panicle, and effective tillers are important for improving yield. Traits like test weight and filled grains per panicle have a direct positive effect on grain yield. Quality traits like kernel length and milling percent also play a role in head rice recovery. This research shows which traits are key for getting better rice yields and quality.
