The contradiction between "high yielding" and "early maturing" hampers further improvement of annual rice yield. Here we report the positional cloning of a major maturity duration regulatory gene, <i>Early flowering-completely dominant</i> (<i>Ef-cd</i>), and demonstrate that natural variation in <i>Ef-cd</i> could be used to overcome the above contradictory. The <i>Ef-cd</i> locus gives rise to a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) antisense transcript overlapping the <i>OsSOC1</i> gene. <i>Ef-cd</i> l ...[more]
