Grain size plays a central role in determining wheat yield, and precise regulation of grain development has emerged as a key strategy for increasing yields in several staple crops such as rice and maize. However, the genetic basis and potential molecular regulatory mechanisms governing critical aspects of wheat grain development have remained elusive, creating a bottleneck in the quest to increase wheat yield.
