Grain size and weight are two important determinants of grain yield in rice. Although overexpression of sucrose synthase (<i>SUS</i>) genes has led to several improvements on cellulose and starch-based traits in transgenic crops, little is reported about <i>SUS</i> enhancement of hull size and grain weight in rice. In this study, we selected transgenic rice plants that overexpressed <i>OsSUS1-6</i> genes driven with the maize Ubi promoter. Compared to the controls (wild type and empty vector lin ...[more]
