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.

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

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 ...

Wheat Escapes Low Light Stress by Altering Pollination Types
Although low light stress seriously affects florets fertility and grain number during the reproductive period, crops can be fertilized by heterologous pollen to alleviate the reduction of grain number. However, wheat is strongly autogamous, how to change

SMALL GRAIN 11 Controls Grain Size, Grain Number and Grain Yield in Rice [PDF]
Grain size is one of key agronomic traits that determine grain yield in rice. Several regulators of grain size have been identified in rice, but the mechanisms that determine grain size and yield remain largely unknown.Here we characterize a small grain (smg11) mutant in rice, which exhibits small grains, dense panicles and the increased number of ...
