The tiller angle, one of the critical factors that determine the rice plant type, is closely related to rice yield. An appropriate rice tiller angle can improve rice photosynthetic efficiency and increase yields. In this study, we identified a transcription factor, TILLRE ANGLE CONTROL 8 (TAC8), that is highly expressed in the rice tiller base and positively regulates the tiller angle by regulating cell length and endogenous auxin content; TAC8 encodes a TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PCF transcriptional activator that is highly expressed in the nucleus. RNA-seq revealed that TAC8 is involved mainly in the photoperiod and abiotic stress response in rice. Yeast two-hybrid assays verified that TAC8 interacts with CHLOROPHYLL A/B-BINDING PROTEIN 1, which responds to photoperiod, and haplotype analysis revealed that a 34-bp deletion at position 1516 in the promoter region and a 9-bp deletion at position 153 in the coding region can result in impaired function or loss of function of TAC8. This study provides a new genetic resource for designing ideal plant types with appropriate rice tiller angle.

Rice tiller angle is a key agronomic trait that regulates plant architecture and plays a critical role in determining rice yield. Given that tiller angle is regulated by multiple genes, it is important to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with tiller angle. Recently, with the advancement of imaging technology for plant phenotyping, it has become possible to quickly and accurately measure agronomic traits of breeding populations.

The growth habit (GH), also named the branching habit, is an important agronomic trait of peanut and mainly determined by the lateral branch angle (LBA). The branching habit is closely related to peanut mechanized farming, pegging, yield, and disease management. However, the molecular basis underlying peanut LBA needs to be uncovered.
