Mapping of Novel QTL Regulating Grain Shattering Using Doubled Haploid Population in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Figure 1

Measurement of seed shattering degree using a force gauge. (a) The device used to measure shattering degree was fixed to a stand reversely. (b) A holder was used to link tightly with a panicle stem. (c, d) The breaking tensile strength (BTS) was measured by bending and pulling a spikelet.
