Genetic base on peduncle vascular bundle related traits in rice was systematically dissected, and most likely candidate genes of the known gene NAL1 and the three newly identified QTL (qLVN6, qSVN7, and qSVA8.1) were analyzed. The results provided valuable information for future functional characterization and rice breeding for high yield through optimizing transportation efficiency of photosynthetic products by marker-assisted selection.
