Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: The zqdm1 identified from a rice mutant is a novel allele of BRD2 and is responsible for regulating rice plant height, grain size and appearance, which has possibilities on improving rice quality. Plant height is an important agronomic trait related to rice yield, and grain size directly determines grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). With the development of molecular biotechnology and genome...
