Natural variation of an E3 ubiquitin ligase encoding gene Chalk9 regulates grain chalkiness in rice

Abstract Grain chalkiness is an undesirable trait affecting rice quality, concerning both consumers and breeders. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying rice chalkiness remain largely elusive. Here, we identify Chalk9 as a major gene associated with grain chalkiness in a natural population. Chal...
