A major challenge of modern agricultural biotechnology is the optimization of plant architecture for enhanced productivity, stress tolerance and water use efficiency (WUE). To optimize plant height and tillering that directly link to grain yield in cereals and are known to be tightly regulated by gibberellins (GAs), we attenuated the endogenous levels of GAs in rice via its degradation. GA 2-oxidase (GA2ox) is a key enzyme that inactivates endogenous GAs and their precursors.

- * Transfer DNA (T-DNA) insertional mutagenesis is a valuable method that allows for efficient gene knockout and activation within rice, aiding in functional genomics research.
- * The paper emphasizes utilizing T-DNA-tagged rice mutants to improve gene characterization and crop enhancement through advanced genetic approaches, ultimately benefiting rice and other cereals.
