QTLs affecting grain shape (grain width, grain length, length-width ratio, circularity, area size of grain, and perimeter length of grain) and chalkiness traits (percentage of grains with chalkiness and degree of endosperm chalkiness) were mapped with the high-density GBS-SNP based markers.
Multiplying length * width * height, height * width * length, length * height * width, and so on, will all give the same answer.
Rice grain size is defined by grain length, width, length-width ratio, and grain weight, and is another important factor in determining rice yield.
However, it increased plant density, fresh mass, plant length and length width ratio of L. chinensis populations.
We studied the nematode communities of these two glacial fjords with respect to their morphometric attributes (body length, width, length/width ratio) and biomass (total and individual) to evaluate whether their differences reflect differences in hydrographical and biogeochemical conditions.
Highly significant variation was observed both within and among the five subpopulations in the diversity panel for most morpho-agronomic traits, including days to heading, plant height, panicles per plant, panicle length, flag leaf length, flag leaf width, and also for grain traits, such as grain length, width, length width ratio, and hundred grain weight (Fig. 4).
Grain shape, widely accepted as a complex quantitative trait, is usually measured as grain length, width, thickness and length-to-width ratio (Bai et al. 2010).
Ten randomly selected unbroken brown rice grains of each DH line were lined up to measure grain length, width, and length/width ratio in the same way as described above.
The pair-wise correlation analysis was conducted on length, width and length-width ratio of the flag leaf, and yield per plant in the core recombinant inbred lines of Liang-You-Pei-Jiu (LYP9) developed in Hainan and Hangzhou.
The quality of appearance is determined by grain length, width, width/length ratio, size and shape, and translucency of endosperm (Juliano and Villareal., 1993; Unnevehr et al., 2006).
Measurements of body weight, length, width, corrected (=fillet) length and head length were taken on each fish.
