ABSTRACT=This study employed a joint strategy high-density SNP Chip DNA markers and multiple Genome Association and Prediction Integrated Tool (GAPIT) models [(Bayesian-information and Linkagedisequilibrium Iteratively Nested Keyway (BLINK), Fixed and random model Circulating Probability Uniform (FarmCPU), General Linear Model (GLM), and Settlement of Mixed Linear Model (MLM) Under Progressively Exclusive Relationship (SUPER)], to investigate novel genetic factors controlling mesocotyl elongation and seedling emergence for direct-seeded rice. Genotype data (230,526 SNP Chip DNA makers) of 117 doubled haploid lines (derived from a cross between 93-11 (Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica) and Milyang352 (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica) were used to perform a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS). Results revealed the association between five (5) topmost significant SNP markers, of which number two (
