Rice yield is mainly controlled by three factors: panicle number per plant, grain number per panicle, and thousand-grain weight.
Sixteen, six and ten genes/QTL were associated with panicle number per plant, grain number per panicle and thousand grain weight, respectively.
Projected whole-plant, grain, and stalk digestible OM yield was greater (P ≤ 0.05) with stay-green than the traditional senescent cultivar.
