It was suggested that the most effective way to improve rice grain yield is to increase the
grain number per panicle (GN) through the breeding practice in recent decades. GN is a …

Rice is an important cereal crop, which provides staple food for more than half of the world's
population. To meet the demand of the ever-growing population in the next few decades, an …

Recent research has highlighted the importance of Cys2/His2-type zinc finger proteins
(C2H2-ZFPs) in plant growth and in responses to various stressors, and the complex …

Rice inflorescence is one of the major organs in determining grain yield. The genetic and
molecular regulation on rice inflorescence architecture has been well investigated over the …

Abstract Background Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) panicle development is a
coordinated process of cell proliferation and differentiation with distinctive phases and …

The MEDIATOR (MED) complex is a molecular bridge that regulates transcription by
connecting transcription factors (TFs) and specific gene promoters. The MED subunit 25 …

The emerging threat of climate change is posing a scientific conundrum for global food and
nutritional security. As a primary staple food, half of the global human population is …

The eukaryotic multi-subunit Mediator complex coordinates between transcription
activators/repressors and general transcription machinery to direct a rigid transcriptional …

The Mediator complex is essential for eukaryotic transcription, yet its role and the function of
its individual subunits in plants, especially in rice, remain poorly understood. Here, we …

Grain number, one of the major determinants of yield in Triticeae crops, is largely
determined by spikelet number and spike rachis node number (SRN). Here, we identified …
