miR396-GRF Modules: A New Prospective on Rice Molecular Breeding

doi:10.11983/CBB16017

Abstract

Abstract: Grain size and number of spikelets are major factors controlling rice yield. The miR396-GRF module plays multifaceted roles in the growth and development of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa). Recently, Chinese scientists have revealed novel insights into the role of miR396-GRF modules in controlling grain size and number of spikelets in rice.

Key words: rice, grain size, miR396, GRF, miR396-GRF modules
