Control of tillering in rice

Abstract: Tillering in rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important agronomic trait for grain production, and also a model system for the study of branching in monocotyledonous plants. Rice tiller is a specialized grain-bearing branch that is formed on the unelongated basal internode and grows independently of the mother stem (culm) by means of its own adventitious roots. Rice tillering occurs in a two-stage process: the formation of an axillary bud at each leaf axil and its subsequent outgrowth. Although the morphology and h… Show more

“…Sections of inflorescences, roots, and petioles were prepared according to the method described previously [40] and stained with Safranin O and Fast Green (Fisher, USA). To observe the vascular patterns of Arabidopsis inflorescences and roots, the fresh hand-cut sections or microtome-sliced sections were observed directly under the UV light at 340-380 nm [41].…”

“…In 2003, Li and his team identified a gene called MONOCULM 1 (MOC1) that functions as the master control for shoot development 6 . They showed that rice plants that overexpress MOC1 produce more auxiliary stems that branch out from the mother stem than normal, whereas those with a loss-of-function mutation in MOC1 produce only a single, stout stem.…”

“…However, plants dropped growth rate when plants had diseases or lacked in water, which resulted in lower yield rates. In rice crops, more tillers would generally mean more yield (Li et al, 2003). If the condition was growing well, the height of paddy rice crops usually reaches 80-120 cm (Makarim and Suhartatik, 2009).…”
