Unveiling novel QTLs for nitrogen use efficiency in temperate Japonica rice
This study provides genetic insights into NUE in temperate japonica rice. We have identified QTLs associated with NUE traits, some of which co-localized with previously identified genes, while also providing novel molecular markers. The identified loci and candidate genes offer valuable genetic resources to support molecular breeding strategies aimed at improving NUE in japonica rice cultivars adapted to temperate climates.
