Tillering and panicle branching are important agronomic traits that affect rice grain yield. In this study, we characterized the low tiller 1 (lt1) mutant, which was isolated from an ethyl methanesulfonate-treated population of the indica cultivar Shuhui 527. The lt1 mutant had fewer tillers, thicker culms, fewer panicle branches, abnormal spikelets and larger grains. The transcript levels of cell...
Grain size determines grain weight and affects grain quality. Several major quantitative trait loci (QTLs) regulating grain size have been cloned; however, our understanding of the underlying mechanism that regulates the size of rice grains remains fragmentary. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of a dominant QTL, GRAIN SIZE ON CHROMOSOME 2 (GS2), which encodes Growth-Regulating Factor...
