The grain yield modulator miR156 regulates seed dormancy through the gibberellin pathway in rice
Pre-harvest sprouting reduces the yield of agriculturally important crops such as rice. Here, the authors show that mutating specific members of the MIR156 gene family can suppress pre-harvest sprouting in rice without negative effects on plant architecture, suggesting a practical route to elite cro...
