A study mapped quantitative trait loci controlling Cu, CA, Zn, Mn and Fe content in rice grains using a set of 241 recombinant-inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between Zhenshan 97 and Minghui 63. Data suggest that epistasis, in the form of additive-by-additive interactions, plays a very impo...
