A G-protein pathway determines grain size in rice

Grain size is a major determinant of cereal yield. Here the authors characterize five subunits of the rice heterotrimeric G proteins and find that manipulating the three Gγ proteins can achieve designed grain size, which provides a predictable approach to improving grain yield and quality.
