Natural variations in <i>Multi‐Grain Spikelet 1</i> enhance grain number in sorghum
A single recessive gene, Multi-Grain Spikelet 1 (MGS1), governs the multiple-grain spikelet trait in sorghum. The natural variants mgs1<sup>9E</sup> and mgs1<sup>BA45</sup> trigger adjacent double-pistil primordia, significantly boosting grain numbers per panicle, suggesting potential strategies for breeding high-yield sorghum.
