Abstract excerpt
Cleistogamy, or self-fertilization of a closed flower, can limit unintended gene flow and may contribute to varietal purity in rice (Oryza sativa), with potential value for transgene containment. We previously identified the natural cleistogamous mutant lodiculeless spikelet (ld). Here, using map-based cloning, we show that ld carries a 4.6-kb deletion encompassing the entire MICRORNA806a (MIR806a) precursor and...
