Abstract excerpt
Grain size is one of the important yield traits in crops. Understanding the molecular and genetic mechanisms of grain-size control is important for yield improvement. Here, we report that the enhancer of GS2AA (EOG1) encodes an RNA-binding protein, which can bind mRNAs of several grain-size genes and influence their abundance. The eog1-1 mutant produces large and heavy grains by promoting cell proliferation in...
