Abstract
We here show that OsPrMC3 affects seed yields by regulating tillering. OsPrMC3 is highly expressed in leaves and mature seeds, although its expression is detected in all tissues, and its mutant osprmc3 has more tillers and less grain, indicating its crucial role in determining grain yield as a tillering inhibitor.
