Molecular regulation of floral organ identity and quantity in rice
水稻花器官特征决定以及数量控制的分子机制

As the model species of monocotyledons, rice (Oryza sativa) is being widely studied in terms of reproduction. Forward and reverse genetic approaches have resulted in the cloning of some important genes controlling reproductive development such as floral organ number, and great progress has been made in revealing the molecular mechanisms of rice floral organ development during the past few years. This article reviews the recent progress in this field.
