摘 要:Dear Editor, Grain size is a major determinant of grain yield and quality in rice (Oryza sativa), and was therefore an important selective target during domestication and breeding (Fitzgerald et al., 2009) (Takano-Kai et al., 2009). In the past few decades, a dozen grain size-related QTLs/genes have been cloned (Huang et al., 2013; Zuo and Li, 2014). Pyramiding grain size QTLs to breed high-yielding and high-quality rice varieties has proved to be a great success. For example, by pyramiding the nonfunctional alleles gs3 and gw8 in line HJX74.
