Abstract:Grain yield and growth period are two critical agronomic traits for a rice cultivar to be used in field production. The growth period is mainly determined by the flowering time, which also greatly affects grain yields. An Arabidopsis gene, AtNF-YB1, was introduced into rice, including inbred Kasalath and two hybrids, Jinfeng × Chenghui 727 and Jinfeng × Chuanhui 907. All the transgenic rice showed flowering early under both natural long-day (NLD) and natural short-day (NSD). Kasalath with expression of the gen… Show more
