Seed-Specific Overexpression of SPL12 and IPA1 Improves Seed Dormancy and Grain Size in Rice
Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) often results in reduced grain yield and quality and is a major problem in cereal production.Improved seed dormancy would inhibit PHS.Here we show that seed-specific overexpression of two SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) genes SPL12 and IPA1 enhances seed dormancy and inhibits sukrensi.com PHS without noticea
