Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of plant genetic engineering, and specifically relates to a rice ear trait regulating gene PT2, and also relates to the alleles of the gene and the application of the gene and its alleles in plant breeding such as rice and corn. Background technique
[0002] Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world. More than half of the world's population feed on rice as the staple food. The yield and quality of rice are related to the world's food security. The panicle traits of rice include panicle length, number of primary branches, number of secondary branches, grain shape, number of grains per panicle, etc., which have an important impact on the yield and quality of rice.
[0003] Take rice panicle traits-grain shape as an example. The grain shape includes grain length, grain width, and grain thickness. It not only directly affects the important component of rice yield-thousand-grain weight, but also affects the appear...
