Application of an elite haplotype of indica rice and its encoding protein in improving yield of japonica rice
By introducing the superior haplotype BS1 protein or its encoding gene from indica rice into japonica rice and regulating its expression and activity, the problem of low yield in japonica rice was solved, and the yield and biomass were improved.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are insufficient to effectively increase the yield of japonica rice. The lack of application of superior alleles from indica rice in japonica rice results in lower biomass and yield compared to indica rice.
By introducing the superior haplotype BS1 protein or its encoding gene from indica rice into japonica rice, plant yield, plant height, and tiller number can be regulated, and the expression level and activity of BS1 protein can be increased or decreased. Gene editing and transgenic technologies can be used to optimize the expression and function of BS1 protein.
It has improved the yield, plant height and tiller number of japonica rice, and enhanced the biomass and yield performance of japonica rice.
