Development of a novel and rapid phenotype-based screening method to assess rice seedling growth
Background Rice (Oryza sativa) is one of the most important model crops in plant research. Despite its considerable advantages, (phenotypic) bioassays for rice are not as well developed as for Arabidopsis thaliana.
