Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Grain length, as a critical trait for rice grain size and shape, has a great effect on grain yield and appearance quality. Although several grain size/shape genes have been cloned, the genetic interaction among these genes and the molecular mechanisms of grain size/shape architecture have not yet to be explored. RESULTS: To investigate the genetic interaction between two major grain length loci of...
