Copy number variation at the GL7 locus contributes to grain size diversity in rice

TL;DR: Li and Xudong Zhu as mentioned in this paper reported cloning of the Grain Length on Chromosome 7 (GL7) locus in rice and identified a copy number variant that increases grain length and improves grain quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Rare Allele of GS2 Enhances Grain Size and Grain Yield in Rice

TL;DR: The cloning and characterization of a dominant QTL, grain size on chromosome 2 (GS2), which encodes Growth-Regulating Factor 4 (OsGRF4), a transcriptional regulator is reported, which could significantly enhance grain weight and increase grain yield in rice cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rational design of high-yield and superior-quality rice

TL;DR: The successful development of new elite varieties of elite rice varieties by pyramiding major genes that significantly contribute to grain quality and yield from three parents over five years are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conservation and divergence of both phosphate- and mycorrhiza-regulated physiological responses and expression patterns of phosphate transporters in solanaceous species.

TL;DR: The discrepancies between the evolutionary distances of the PiT genes and their expression patterns among the five species suggest greater complexity in function of PiT in plants than previously expected.
