Short and narrow flag leaf1 a GATA zinc finger domain-containing protein regulates flag leaf size in rice (Oryza sativa)

摘要

BackgroundThe flag leaf of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important determinant of plant type characteristics and grain yield. Identification of flag leaf mutants of rice is crucial to elucidate the molecular mechanism of flag-leaf development, and for exploitation of rice germplasm resources.
