SMALL GRAIN 5 encodes a heat shock transcription factor controlling grain size and plant architecture in rice
resulted in larger grains. These findings establish SMG5 as a key HSF that modulates grain size and plant architecture, providing insights into the regulatory network controlling grain development in rice.
