Article Synopsis
- Grain shape and size significantly impact rice quality and yield, with a specific gene identified as a key determinant.
- Knockout experiments revealed that the gene influences grain dimensions; its absence led to narrower grains and reduced weight, while overexpression resulted in notable improvements.
- The study suggests that understanding this gene's regulatory role could enhance rice breeding for better grain appearance and quality.
