Abstract excerpt
Photosynthesis and plant architecture are important factors influencing grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Here, we identified a high-tillering and dwarf 12 (htd12) mutant and analyzed the effects of the HTD12 mutation on these important factors. HTD12 encodes a 15-cis-ζ-carotene isomerase (Z-ISO) belonging to the nitrite and nitric oxide reductase U (NnrU) protein family, as revealed by positional mapping...
