Panicle Apical Abortion 3 Controls Panicle Development and Seed Size in Rice
Background In rice, panicle apical abortion is a common phenomenon that usually results in a decreased number of branches and grains per panicle, and consequently a reduced grain yield.

Grain filling influences grain size and quality in cereal crops. The molecular mechanisms that regulate grain endosperm development remain elusive. In this study, we characterized a filling-defective and grain width mutant, fgw1, whose mutation increased

OsCCRL1 is Essential for Phenylpropanoid Metabolism in Rice Anthers
Phenylpropanoid metabolism and timely tapetal degradation are essential for anther and pollen development, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. In the current study, to investigate this, we identified and analyzed the male-sterile mutant, osccrl1 ...

MULTI-FLORET SPIKELET 4 (MFS4) Regulates Spikelet Development and Grain Size in Rice
In rice, the spikelet is the basic unit of inflorescence, and its development is important for determining the grain yield and quality. We reported a rice spikelet mutant multi-floret spikelet 4 (mfs4) which resulted in the production of extra floral ...

Less hairy leaf 1, an RNaseH-like protein, regulates trichome formation in rice through auxin
The trichomes of rice leaves are formed by the differentiation and development of epidermal cells. Plant trichomes play an important role in stress resistance and protection against direct ultraviolet irradiation.

The spikelet is a unique inflorescence structure in grasses. However, the molecular mechanism that regulates its development remains unclear, and we therefore characterize a spikelet mutant of rice (Oryza sativa L.), aberrant-floral spikelet 1 (afs1 ...

Background Zebra leaf mutants are an important resource for studying leaf colour in rice. In most such mutants, the zebra leaf phenotype results from defective chloroplast biogenesis. The molecular mechanism by which zebra leaves develop remains unclear,
