Comprehensive Transcriptome Analysis of GS3 Near-Isogenic Lines During Panicle Development in Rice (Oryza sativa L.).

ABSTRACT: Panicle architecture is an important agronomic trait in rice that affects rice yields and quality. The GRAIN SIZE 3 (GS3) locus has been identified as a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) affecting grain length and weight. The current understanding of the function of the GS3 gene, especially concerning the regulatory mechanism of panicle development, is still in its infancy. In this study, we generated GS3 near-isogenic lines (NILs) by successive crossing and backcrossing of TD70 (large grain) with Kasalath (small grain), using Kasalath as the recurrent parent. To identify potential transcription dynamic changes in rice panicle formation and grain shape, we deeply analyzed transcriptional profiles for the NILs (NIL-GS3 and NIL
