Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Grain size is an essential factor of grain quality and yield in rice. The genetic studies have substantially contributed to enhancing yield and maintaining a good quality of rice. The two major genes GS3 (a negative regulator of grain length) and GW2 (a negative regulator of grain width) with functional mutation play a significant role in controlling the grain size of rice. METHODS AND RESULTS: In the...
