Genetic Improvements in Rice Grain Quality: A Review of Elite Genes and Their Applications in Molecular Breeding

High yield and superior quality are the main objectives of rice breeding research. While innovations in have increased production to meet growing demand, universal issue balancing high susperior has led a lack focus on improving quality. With rising living standards, become increasingly important. Rice grain is complex trait influenced by both genetic environmental factors, with four primary aspects: milling quality, appearance eating cooking nutritional different populations varying demands for core traits that contribute include shape chalkiness terms appearance, as well endosperm composition influences sensory evaluation. Researchers made substantial advancements discovering genes/QTLs associated critical including aroma, texture, properties. Markers derived from these discoveries provided an efficient tool marker-assisted selection improve Thus, this review focuses elite genes their applications practices quickly develop varieties various market demands.
