Carpel size, grain filling, and morphology determine individual grain weight in wheat [PDF]
Individual grain weight is a major yield component in wheat. To provide a comprehensive understanding of grain weight determination, the carpel size at anthesis, grain dry matter accumulation, grain water uptake and loss, grain morphological expansion ...

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.

Grain Weight and Taste Quality in Japonica Rice Are Regulated by Starch Synthesis and Grain Filling Under Nitrogen–Phosphorus Interactions [PDF]
To reveal the regulatory effects of nitrogen and phosphorus interactions on grain-filling- and starch-synthesis-related enzymes, and grain weight of superior grains (SGs) and inferior grains (IGs) and taste quality, the japonica rice cultivar Shennong ...

OsNLP3 enhances grain weight and reduces grain chalkiness in rice. [PDF]
Grain weight, a key determinant of yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.), is governed primarily by genetic factors, whereas grain chalkiness, a detriment to grain quality, is intertwined with environmental factors such as mineral nutrients. Nitrogen (N) is recognized for its effect on grain chalkiness, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be ...

Wheat grain width: a clue for re-exploring visual indicators of grain weight. [PDF]
AbstractMean grain weight (MGW) is among the most frequently measured parameters in wheat breeding and physiology. Although in the recent decades, various wheat grain analyses (e.g. counting, and determining the size, color, or shape features) have been facilitated thanks to the automated image processing systems, MGW estimations has been limited to ...

Control of Thousand-Grain Weight by OsMADS56 in Rice. [PDF]
Grain weight and size are important traits determining grain yield and influencing grain quality in rice. In a previous study, a quantitative trait locus controlling thousand-grain weight (TGW) in rice, qTGW10-20.8, was mapped in a 70.7 kb region on chromosome 10.

The OsMAPK5-OsWRKY72 module negatively regulates grain length and grain weight in rice. [PDF]
ABSTRACTGrain size and grain weight are important determinants for grain yield. In this study, we identify a novel OsMAPK5–OsWRKY72 module that negatively regulates grain length and grain weight in rice. We found that loss‐of‐function of OsMAPK5 leads to larger cell size of the rice spikelet hulls and a significant increase in both grain length and ...
