“…RM81A is linked with grain yield per plant, 1000-grain weight, and plant height (Cui et al, 2004), RM253 is associated with percent head rice, amylase content, alkali spreading score, protein content, grain length, heading date, awn length, days to maturity and grain length/width ratio (Xiao et al, 1996;Linh et al, 2006), with RM244 associated with fertility restorer genes (Jing et al, 2000), RM232 associated with 1000-grain weight, panicles per plant, panicle length, grains per panicle, and grain yield per plant (Tan et al, 2007), and RM234 associated with days to heading, days to maturity and maximum root length (Thomson et al, 2003;Miyata et al, 2007). There existed significant correlations (P < 0.01) between P content in brown rice and 11 traits (protein content, rice width, panicle length, filled grains per panicle, blighted grains per panicle, seed setting rate, plant height, tillers per plant, days to heading, grain width, and thickness) and between K content in brown rice and 8 traits (amylose contents, alkali spreading score, gel consistency, protein content, plant height, tillers per plant, grain thickness, and panicle length) (Zeng et al, 2005).…”
