Inhibition of auxin biosynthesis in early rice grains leads to extensive post-fertilisation grain abortion

The paper inhibits auxin biosynthesis in early rice grains using chemical inhibitors, leading to post-fertilisation grain abortion and reduced yield.

Localised expression of OsIAA29 suggests a key role for auxin in regulating development of the dorsal aleurone of early rice grains

The paper identifies OsIAA29 and OsMRPLs as part of an auxin-regulated signaling network in the dorsal aleurone of early rice grains.
