Genome-wide association study identified 61 QTLs linked to grain shape in rice, suggesting genetic insights for yield improvement.

Grain shape significantly influences rice yield and quality, impacting food security globally.
Using 4,451,085 SNP markers, 61 QTLs related to grain length, width, and ratio were identified across two years.
The study utilized 265 natural rice population materials to assess phenotypic variations in grain shape traits.
Identified candidate genes provide a foundation for genetic regulation and molecular breeding of rice grain shape.

Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
