We have successfully introgressed the qGN4.1 QTL for high grain number per panicle into 12 different mega varieties of rice using marker-assisted backcross breeding. The advanced near-isogenic lines are promising for the development of even higher yielding versions of these high-yielding mega varieties of rice.
