Integrated QTL-seq and transcriptome analyses identify a DUF1677 candidate gene with a Predicted Kelch β-propeller-like fold associated with iron deficiency response in rice

Abstract Iron deficiency is a major abiotic constraint in rice production, especially in direct-seeded and aerobic cultivation systems, yet the genes controlling tolerance, especially at the seedling stage, remain poorly understood. In this study, we screened 116 rice genotypes u...
