The Elite Alleles of OsSPL4 Regulate Grain Size and Increase Grain Yield in Rice
Abstract Grain weight and grain number, the two important yield traits, are mainly determined by grain size and panicle architecture in rice. Herein, we report the identification and functional analysis of OsSPL4 in panicle and grain development of rice. Using CRISPR/Cas9 system, two elite alleles o...
