Abstract excerpt
OsNF-YC5, a member of the nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) transcription factor family, plays a key role in rice grain development. Expression analysis showed that OsNF-YC5 is highly expressed in young panicles and grains during the grain-filling stage. Knockout of OsNF-YC5 resulted in longer but narrower and thinner grains, with increased length-to-width and length-to-thickness ratios, yet a 15.1% decrease in...
