OsGIF1 Positively Regulates the Sizes of Stems, Leaves, and Grains in Rice
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Growth-regulating factor (GRF) interacting factors (GIFs) are involved in several developmental processes in Arabidopsis. We previously showed that upregulation of OsGIF1 expression improves rice grain size.
