Abstract excerpt
Size is a critical determinant of rice grain appearance quality and yield. In this study, we isolated a dominant mutant of rice grain size, RE10498, from an EMS-induced mutant library of ZH8015 characterized by long grains. Using the MutMap method, we cloned the causal gene, OsGLW3, which encodes an expressed protein of unknown function. Targeted editing of position 3,119 in the OsGLW3 coding region to "A" in the...
