THERMOSENSITIVE BARREN PANICLE (TAP) is required for rice panicle and spikelet development at high ambient temperature

What is it about?

In cereal crops, panicle size is always sensitive to envrionmental factors, while the underlying machanism remain largely unknown. Here we reveal the critical role of a novel TE-derived transcription factor in regulating panicle development in response to temperature rise.
