Alternative Splicing of TaGS3 Differentially Regulates Grain Weight and Size in Bread Wheat. [PDF]
The heterotrimeric G-protein mediates growth and development by perceiving and transmitting signals in multiple organisms. Alternative splicing (AS), a vital process for regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, plays a significant ...

Modified expression of TaCYP78A5 enhances grain weight with yield potential by accumulating auxin in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). [PDF]
Summary Increasing grain yield has always been the primary goal of crop breeding. KLUH/CYP78A5 has been shown to affect seed size in several plant species, but the relevant molecular mechanism is still unclear and there are no reports of this gene ...

qTGW12a, a naturally varying QTL, regulates grain weight in rice. [PDF]
A stable QTL associated with rice grain type with a large effect value was found in multiple environments, and its candidate genes were verified by genetic transformation. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) grain size is critical to both yield and appearance quality.

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 ...

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 ...

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, and final grain weight at different positions within spikelets were investigated in a recombinant ...

Quantitative trait loci identification and breeding value estimation of grain weight-related traits based on a new wheat 50K single nucleotide polymorphism array-derived genetic map [PDF]
Mining novel and less utilized thousand grain weight (TGW) related genes are useful for improving wheat yield. In this study, a recombinant inbred line population from a cross between Zhongkemai 138 (ZKM138, high TGW) and Chuanmai 44 (CM44, low TGW) was ...

A reductionist approach to dissecting grain weight and yield in wheat [PDF]
Grain yield is a highly polygenic trait that is influenced by the environment and integrates events throughout the life cycle of a plant. In wheat, the major grain yield components often present compensatory effects among them, which alongside the ...

OsSPL18 controls grain weight and grain number in rice.
Grain weight and grain number are two important traits directly determining grain yield in rice. To date, a lot of genes related to grain weight and grain number have been identified; however, the regulatory mechanism underlying these genes remains largely unknown.

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 ...
