Antagonistic Actions of HLH/bHLH Proteins Are Involved in Grain Length and Weight in Rice

Grain size is a major yield component in rice, and partly controlled by the sizes of the lemma and palea. Molecular mechanisms controlling the sizes of these organs largely remain unknown. In this study, we show that an antagonistic pair of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins is involved in deter...
