Deletion in a gene associated with grain size increased yields during rice domestication

Takeshi Izawa and colleagues report the cloning of a gene underlying a rice quantitative trait locus influencing grain width. A deletion in qSW5 increases yield of rice grains, and the authors show that this mutation has likely been selected for during the domestication of rice.

New approach for rice improvement using a pleiotropic QTL gene for lodging resistance and yield

Much effort has been devoted to the generation of rice plants with short stature to improve grain yield and increased resistance to lodging. Through quantitative trait analysis, these authors identify a gene—STRONG CULM2—that confers increased grain yield, culm strength and spikelet number in rice.
