Epigenetic modification of ESP, encoding a putative long noncoding RNA, affects panicle architecture in rice

Abstract Epigenetic variants broaden phenotypic diversity in eukaryotes. Epialleles may also provide a new genetic source for crop breeding, but very few epialleles related to agricultural traits have been identified in rice. Here, we identified Epi-sp, a gain-of-function epiallele of the rice ESP (...
