TL;DR: This work identified a rice LMM, early lesion leaf 1 (ell1), cloned the causal gene by map-based cloning, and verified this by complementation, revealing that ELL1 affects chloroplast development or function, and that loss of E LL1 function induces ROS accumulation and lesion formation in rice.

TL;DR: It is revealed that AFG1 plays an important role in determining palea identity and affecting grain yield and quality in rice and may affect grain size by regulating the expression levels of several genes related to cell expansion and proliferation in the afg1 mutant.

TL;DR: Results reveal that LRG1 plays an important role in the regulation of spikelet organ identity and grain size in recessive rice mutant lrg1.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper identified a rice high temperature enhanced lesion spots 1 (hes1) mutant, which displayed larger and more dense necrotic spots under high temperature conditions.

TL;DR: This study identified and characterized a recessive spikelet mutant, namely more floret1 (mof1), and revealed that MOF1 plays an important role in the regulation of organ identity and spikelet determinacy in rice.
