Abstract excerpt
African cultivated rice, Oryza glaberrima, is characterized by its glabrous glumes. During domestication, the pubescent glumes of its wild ancestor, Oryza barthii, lost their trichomes, and in this study, we show that glabrous glume 5 (GLAG5), a WUSCHEL-like homeobox transcription factor gene on chromosome 5, is required for trichome development. DNA methylation associated with an hAT transposable element...
