miR396-GRF Modules: A New Prospective on Rice Molecular Breeding
Grain size and number of spikelets are major factors controlling rice yield.The miR396-GRF module plays multifaceted roles in the growth and development of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa).Recently,Chinese scientists have revealed novel insights into the role of miR396-GRF modules in controlling grain size and number of spikelets in rice.
