Multivariate and genome-wide SNP-based characterization of genetic diversity and population structure in a subset of the 3 K rice (Oryza sativa L.) genome panel of germplasm accessions
The narrow genetic base of cultivated rice necessitates the identification of diverse germplasm accessions possessing superior agronomic performance and enhanced nutritional quality. The present study aimed to assess the phenotypic and genetic diversity among a subset of 300 rice germplasm accessions and identify elite...
