Genetic mapping of a spontaneous short-grain mutation reveals a novel loss-of-function allele of SRS3 in rice
Spontaneous mutations are a rare but important source of novel genetic variation, yet their detection and characterization within active breeding programs are seldom documented at gene-level resolution. Grain size and shape are key determinants of rice quality, yield, and market classification. Here, we report the discovery and genetic characterization of a spontaneous short-grain (SG) mutation…
