Genetic Mechanisms and Breeding Utilization of Grain Number Per Panicle in Rice

doi:10.11983/CBB23012

Abstract

Abstract: As one of the key factors affecting rice yield, the grain number per panicle has always attracted the attention of breeders. The formation of grain number per panicle is a complex biological process, which is regulated by many genes. According to their impact on phenotype, we roughly divide these genes into three categories: related to the number of branches, related to panicle type and related to spikelet determination. In this paper, we summarized the genetic regulation mechanisms of the grain number per panicle-related genes, and put forth the strategies for their use in high yield breeding of rice.

Key words: rice, yield, grain number per panicle, genetic mechanism, breeding
