Abstract
The plant metabolome is often considered as a bridge between genomic and phenotypic variation. Here, the authors perform metabolic and phenotypic genome-wide association studies in rice grain, and compare to prior studies on rice leaf and maize kernel, to demonstrate a new strategy to investigate complex traits.
