Abstract excerpt
The yield and quality of rice are directly impacted by floral organ development in rice. Understanding of the floral development mechanism will be useful in genetic improvement of yield and quality. In this study, a rice mutant palea degradation 2 (pd2) in an indica cultivar '8PW33' was obtained after 60Co γ-ray treatment. Analysis of the mutant showed that, compared to the wild type, plant height, total grain...
