Abstract excerpt
The gene GS3 has major effect on grain size and plays an important role in rice breeding. The C to A mutation in the second exon of GS3 was reported to be functionally associated with enhanced grain length in rice. In the present study, besides the C-A mutation at locus SF28, three novel polymorphic loci, SR17, RGS1, and RGS2, were discovered in the second intron, the last intron and the final exon of GS3,...
