Haplo-pheno analysis finds associations between Rc gene variants and yield traits in pigmented rice, suggesting improved breeding methods.

This analysis aims to investigate the relationship between Rc gene haplotypes and yield parameters in pigmented rice varieties.
Characterized Rc gene haplotypes using 231 accessions from the 3K rice panel.
Categorized pericarp pigmentation into three scores: 0 for colored, 1 for white, and 9 for red shades.
Analyzed associations between haplotypes and yield traits such as panicles and tillers per plant.
Haplotype H2 associated with score 0 shows significantly enhanced panicles and tillers per plant (p < 0.05).
Haplotype H2 for score 1 exhibits earlier flowering, fewer chaffy grains, and more tillers per plant (p < 0.05).
