Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Calvin cycle plays a crucial role in carbon fixation which provides the precursors of organic macromolecules for plant growth and development. Currently, no gene involved in Calvin cycle has been identified in monocotyledonous plants through mutant or/and map-based cloning approach. RESULTS: Here, we isolated a low-tillering mutant, c6635, in rice (Oryza sativa). The mutant displayed light green...
