ΓùÅ Can enhance the crop yielding by increasing the number of grains.ΓùÅ Proven transformation experiment with efficacyΓùÅ No gene modified
Technology Application
ΓùÅ Increasing yields of riceΓùÅ May apply to other crops such as wheat and corn
Detailed Technology Description
The allele, OsSPL14 (Squamosa Promoter Binding Protein-Like 14) also known as IPA1, is expressed highly in the reproductive stage and promotes panicle branching and higher yield in rice. . By transforming OsSPL14 into a typical japonica rice variety, the researchers also have succeeded to increase almost 80% in the number of branches.
