Abstract excerpt
Grain chalkiness is attributable to polygenic traits, including inadequate photosynthate supply, imbalanced source-sink dynamics, or restricted biosynthesis of storage materials. Nevertheless, the precise regulatory mechanism of chalkiness formation remains to be elucidated. In this study, a CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing mutant (oss40-2cr) of a novel transcription factor OsS40-2 in rice exhibited a longer and...
