Plant breeding success relies on genetic variation and efficient selection strategies. A study in Nigeria analyzed Korean double haploid rice to improve germplasm. They found positive correlations between grain yield and traits like tillers, plant height, and panicle weight. Traits like days to flowering and panicle weight directly influenced grain yield the most. Selecting for these traits can boost rice yield significantly.
