Open AccessOverexpression of OsbHLH107, a member of the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor family, enhances grain size in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Grain size, which is determined by grain length, grain width, and grain thickness, is an important determinant for grain yield in rice. Identification and characterization of new genes that are associated with...

A putative plastidial adenine nucleotide transporter, BRITTLE1-3, plays an essential role in regulating chloroplast development in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Differentiation from proplastids into chloroplasts is a light- and energy-dependent process. How this process is regulated is still poorly understood at the molecular level. We herein report a new putative pla...

A rice White-stripe leaf3 (wsl3) mutant lacking an HD domain-containing protein affects chlorophyll biosynthesis and chloroplast development
Leaf-color mutants are ideal genetic materials for understanding the mechanism of chloroplast development and chlorophyll (Chl) biosynthesis. Here we isolated and identified a new leaf-color mutant of rice, na...

Green-revertible Chlorina 1 (grc1) is required for the biosynthesis of chlorophyll and the early development of chloroplasts in rice
The nuclear genes involved in chloroplast development and chlorophyll biosynthesis must be investigated to understand their functions in plant growth and development. In this study, we isolated and identified ...
