Suppression of the Heterotrimeric G Protein Causes Abnormal Morphology, including Dwarfism, in Rice

Transgenic rice containing an antisense cDNA for the α subunit of rice heterotrimeric G protein produced little or no mRNA for the subunit and exhibited abnormal morphology, including dwarf traits and the setting of small seeds. In normal rice, the mRNA for the α subunit was abundant in the internod...
