Abstract
Breeding of rice with ideal plant architecture has increased rice yield worldwide. Here Zhanget al. show that, in the super rice variety YY12, this ideal plant architecture trait arose from three distal tandem repeats that are associated with an open chromatin state and increased expression of the IPA1gene.
