Breaking the yield-quality tradeoff: OsNLP3 in rice
摘要
A recent study by Sun et al. OsNLP3 enhances grain weight and reduces grain chalkiness in rice sheds new insight on the crucial role of OsNLP3 in regulating grain weight and chalkiness through its interaction with OsCEP6.1 and OsNF-YA8 and suppress their expression. The research reveals a promising pathway for developing strategies to reduce chalkiness while enhancing grain yield, paving the way for improved rice crop productivity.
