Description
Fen Zhang and co-authors report a 2024 study of gene control in rice flowers. Small RNA bits guide flower growth by binding to target genes and tuning their activity. Selection during rice breeding may have shaped those target sites in ways that affect how flowers form.
The team read the DNA of 26 target genes in rice groups from around the world, both farmed types and wild kin. Binding sites that stay the same across types showed signs of cleaning selection, which removes harmful changes. Sites that vary showed signs of positive or farm-driven selection in some groups. Such shifts may have added to the range of flower traits.
