Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The desirable yield gene extra-large panicle 1 (ELP1), which increased grain yield per plant by approximately 30%, was cloned from wild rice Oryza officinalis through a map-based cloning strategy. Grain number per panicle (GNP) is a crucial determinant of rice yield. The wild rice Oryza officinalis, an accession of extra-large panicle (ELP) type, produces numerous grains (700 ± 100 grains) in its...
