Key gene discovered for regulating rice grain length

Oct 10, 2024

Recently, a research team led by Professor Wu Yuejin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered a key gene that can influence rice grain length by regulating cell proliferation, the RGL2 gene. This provides new genetic resources for high-yield breeding of rice. The related findings were recently published in Physiologia Plantarum.
