Abstract excerpt
Grain shape and size influence yield and consumer preferences in rice. In the present study, we characterized and mapped a short and bold grained mutant and named it as TEMS5032, as the mutant is a result of EMS-induced transition from C to T at the 5032nd bp of SRS3 gene, which is known to affect grain size in rice. The substitution led to creation of a stop codon in the motor domain of SRS3, a kinesin 13 family...
