Abstract excerpt
As an important yield component, rice tiller number controls panicle number and determines grain yield. Regulation of rice tiller number by chloroplast pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins has not been reported previously. Here, we report the rice reduced culm number22 (rcn22) mutant, which produces few tillers owing to suppressed tiller bud elongation. Map-based cloning revealed that RCN22 encodes a...
