The accomplishment of further optimization of crop productivity in grain yield and quality is a
great challenge. Grain size is one of the crucial determinants of rice yield and quality; all of …

With the improvement of people's living standards and rice trade worldwide, the demand for
high-quality rice is increasing. Therefore, breeding high quality rice is critical to meet the …

Background Cereal crops are a primary energy source for humans. Grain size and weight
affect both evolutionary fitness and grain yield of cereals. Although studies on gene mining …

Floral organ shape and size in cereal crops can affect grain size and yield, so genes that
regulate their development are promising breeding targets. The lemma, which protects inner …

Although cytokinins (CKs) regulate fruit development, no direct genetic evidence supports
the role of endogenous CKs in pericarp growth or development or fruit size. Here, we report …

Grain size is a key component of grain yield in cereals. It is a complex quantitative trait
controlled by multiple genes. Grain size is determined via several factors in different plant …

Over the last decade, remarkable progress has been made in our understanding the
phytohormones, cytokinin's (CKs) biosynthesis, perception, and signalling pathways …

Grain size is an important determinant of grain yield in rice. Although dozens of grain size
genes have been reported, the molecular mechanisms that control grain size remain to be …

Grain size is important for yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Although many genes involved in
grain size have been isolated, few can be used in breeding due to their interactions and …

Cytokinins, a type of phytohormones that induce division of cytoplasm, have considerable
value in agriculture due to their influences on several physiological processes of plants such …
