Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and breeding, in particular, the invention relates to a gene for regulating the seed setting rate of rice and its application. Background technique
[0002] The food problem is a worldwide problem. With the rapid increase of population and the decrease of available arable land, it has become an important strategic measure for all countries to increase food production as soon as possible. Rice (Oryza sativa) is the main food variety and economic crop for Asian populations, and the improvement of rice yield is of great significance to solve the food problem. How to increase the yield of food to a greater extent has become an important topic of plant science research. The rapid acquisition of high-quality, high-yield and high-resistance new rice materials by using biotechnology for excellent genes has also attracted much attention.
[0003] Rice yield is mainly determined by three factors: grain weight...
