OsMADS17 simultaneously increases grain number and grain weight in rice. [PDF]
During the processes of rice domestication and improvement, a trade-off effect between grain number and grain weight was a major obstacle for increasing yield.

OsSPL9 Regulates Grain Number and Grain Yield in Rice. [PDF]
Rice grain yield consists of several key components, including tiller number, grain number per panicle (GNP), and grain weight. Among them, GNP is mainly determined by panicle branches and spikelet formation. In this study, we identified a gene affecting

A molecular framework for grain number determination in barley. [PDF]
Flowering plants with indeterminate inflorescences often produce more floral structures than they require. We found that floral primordia initiations in barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.) are molecularly decoupled from their maturation into grains.

The Effect of Grain Position on Genetic Improvement of Grain Number and Thousand Grain Weight in Winter Wheat in North China. [PDF]
Genetic improvements have significantly contributed to wheat production. Five wheat cultivars—widely grown in north China in the 1950s, 1990s, or 2010s—were grown in field experiments conducted in the 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 growing seasons.

Identification of SMG3, a QTL Coordinately Controls Grain Size, Grain Number per Panicle, and Grain Weight in Rice. [PDF]
Grain size, grain number per panicle, and grain weight are key agronomic traits that determine grain yield in rice. However, the molecular mechanisms coordinately controlling these traits remain largely unknown. In this study, we identified a major QTL, SMG3, that is responsible for grain size, grain number per panicle, and grain weight in rice, which ...

GW10, a Member of P450 Subfamily Regulates Grain Size and Grain Number in Rice [PDF]
Abstract Grain size and grain number play extremely important roles in rice grain yield. Here, we identify GW10 , which encodes a P450 subfamily protein and controlls grain size and grain number by using Lemont ( tropical japonica ) as donor parent and HJX74 ( indica ) as recipient parent. The GW10 locus was mapped into a 20.1 kb region

Genetic and molecular factors in determining grain number per panicle of rice. [PDF]
It was suggested that the most effective way to improve rice grain yield is to increase the grain number per panicle (GN) through the breeding practice in recent decades.

The da1 mutation in wheat increases grain size under ambient and elevated CO2 but not grain yield due to trade-off between grain size and grain number. [PDF]
Why this research Matters Grain size is potentially yield determining in wheat, controlled by the ubiquitin pathway and negatively regulated by ubiquitin receptor DA1.

Combined Analysis of BSA-Seq Based Mapping, RNA-Seq, and Metabolomic Unraveled Candidate Genes Associated with Panicle Grain Number in Rice (Oryza sativa L.). [PDF]
Rice grain yield is a complex and highly variable quantitative trait consisting of several key components, including the grain weight, the effective panicles per unit area, and the grain number per panicle (GNPP). The GNPP is a significant contributor to
