Abstract
Zhang et al. report QTL GS3.1 as regulating rice grain size via metabolic flux allocation between two branches of phenylpropanoid metabolism. Their results identify the biosynthetic pathway for grain size regulation via a multidrug and toxic compounds extrusion transporter, and demonstrate enlarged grains, reduced flavonoid content, and increased lignin content in the panicles with GS3.1.
