Abstract excerpt
An increase in grain yield is crucial for modern agriculture(1). Grain size is one of the key components of grain yield in rice and is regulated by quantitative trait loci (QTLs)(2,3). Exploring new QTLs for grain size will help breeders develop elite rice varieties with higher yields(3,4). Here, we report a new semi-dominant QTL for grain size and weight (GS2) in rice, which encodes the transcription factor...
