IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF DIFFERENTIALLY EXPRESSED GENES IN INFERIOR AND SUPERIOR SPIKELETS OF RICE CULTIVARS WITH CONTRASTING PANICLE-COMPACTNESS AND GRAIN-FILLING PROPERTIES.

Identification and Characterization of Differentially Expressed Genes in Inferior and Superior Spikelets of Rice Cultivars with Contrasting Panicle-Compactness and Grain-Filling Properties.

Breeding programs for increasing spikelet number in rice have resulted in compactness of the panicle, accompanied by poor grain filling in inferior spikelets.Although the inefficient utilization Cleaners of assimilate has been indicated as responsible for this poor grain filling, the underlying cause remains elusive.The current study utilized the s
