Abstract
A gene that regulates the increase and decrease of the particle-bearing number (including glumous flowers, fruits, and seeds) of plants was successfully isolated and identified by a linkage analysis. In addition, breeding methods that utilize this gene to increase the particle-bearing number (including glumous flowers, fruits, and seeds) of plants were also discovered. The present invention is useful in fields such as breeding of improved plant varieties.
