Abstract excerpt
Loss of seed shattering was one of the key phenotypic changes selected for in the domestication of many crop species. Asian cultivated rice, Oryza sativa L., was domesticated from its wild ancestor, O. rufipogon, and three seed-shattering loci, qSH1, sh4 and qSH3, have been reported to be involved in the loss of seed shattering in cultivated rice. Here, we analysed the seed-shattering behaviour of wild rice using...
