Wheat grain width: a clue for re-exploring visual indicators of grain weight [PDF]
Plant Methods, 2022 Background Mean 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.

Dissecting the Genetic Basis of Yield Traits and Validation of a Novel Quantitative Trait Locus for Grain Width and Weight in Rice [PDF]
PlantsGrain yield in rice is a complex trait and it is controlled by a number of quantitative trait loci (QTL). To dissect the genetic basis of rice yield, QTL analysis for nine yield traits was performed using an F2 population containing 190 plants, which was

OsDA1 positively regulates grain width in rice
Crop JournalThe size and shape of rice grains influence their yield and commercial value. We investigated the role of OsDA1, a rice homolog of the Arabidopsis DA1 gene, in regulating grain size and shape. OsDA1 was highly expressed in young spikelets and glumes. Its

Dissection of Genetic Basis Underpinning Kernel Weight-Related Traits in Common Wheat
Plants, 2021 Genetic dissection kernel weight-related traits is of great significance for improving wheat yield potential. As one of the three major yield components of wheat, thousand kernel weight (TKW) was mainly affected by grain length (GL) and grain width (GW).

A mitochondrion-associated PPR protein, WBG1, regulates grain chalkiness in rice
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Rice kernel quality has vital commercial value. Grain chalkiness deteriorates rice’s appearance and palatability. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern grain chalkiness remain unclear and may be regulated by many factors.
