Abstract excerpt
Rice (Oryza sativa L.), a fundamental global staple, nourishes over half of the world's population. The identification of the ddt1 mutant in rice through EMS mutagenesis of the indica cultivar Shuhui527 revealed a dwarf phenotype, characterized by reduced plant height, smaller grain size, and decreased grain weight. Detailed phenotypic analysis and map-based cloning pinpointed the mutation to a single-base...
