Identification of allelic variation of NOG1 and development of an INDEL-based co-dominant marker for enhancing grain number in rice

Key Points

• Enhanced grain number is linked to specific allelic variation in NOG1, promising higher yields.
• The study focused on developing an INDEL-based co-dominant marker for facilitating selection.
• Assessment of genetic diversity in rice revealed significant allelic variation related to the target trait.
• Identifying this variation may support rice breeding programs aiming for increased productivity.
