华中农业大学张启发、王磊等在水稻株型及分枝调控研究方面取得新进展。他们通过分析水稻3个micro RNA及其靶基因在水稻株型发育中的作用及其分子机制,揭示了一个新的控制水稻株型建成的调控途径。相关成果日前发表于美国《国家科学院院刊》。研究人员利用反向遗传学、基因组学和分子生物学 Huazhong Agricultural University Zhang Qifa, Wang Lei et al in rice plant type and branch regulation made new progress. Through analyzing the function and molecular mechanism of three rice microRNAs and their target genes in rice plant type development, they revealed a new regulatory pathway for controlling the establishment of rice plant type.
