TGW1a locus simultaneously shortens growth duration and boosts grain yield in rice.

Reconciling the trade-off between short growth duration and high grain yield is essential for enhancing annual rice yields.

Reconciling the trade-off between short growth duration and high grain yield is essential for enhancing annual rice yields. We found that qTGW1a , encoding a flowering locus T-like protein, controls heading and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) underpinning grain weight and yield in…
