  • Title: Tillering and panicle branching genes in rice.
    Author: Liang WH, Shang F, Lin QT, Lou C, Zhang J.
    Journal: Gene; 2014 Mar 01; 537(1):1-5. PubMed ID: 24345551.
    Abstract:
    Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple food crops in the world, and rice tillering and panicle branching are important traits determining grain yield. Since the gene MONOCULM 1 (MOC 1) was first characterized as a key regulator in controlling rice tillering and branching, great progress has been achieved in identifying important genes associated with grain yield, elucidating the genetic basis of yield-related traits. Some of these important genes were shown to be applicable for molecular breeding of high-yielding rice. This review focuses on recent advances, with emphasis on rice tillering and panicle branching genes, and their regulatory networks.
