Abstract excerpt
A large panicle with numerous florets is essential for improving rice ( Oryza sativa L.) yield. Rice panicle size is determined by such underlying morphogenetic processes as: (1) primary branch formation on the panicle axis; (2) floret formation on the primary branches (mainly determined by the secondary branch formation); and (3) pre-flowering abortion of florets in the panicle. We examined QTLs for these...
