Grain shape, a complex agronomic trait, plays an important role in determining yield and quality in rice.In the present study, a mutant named short grain length (sgl) was identified among explants of tissue cultured japonica variety Kita-ake.It exhibited reduced plant height (about 72% of WT) and short grain length (about 80% of WT).The reduced length was due to decreased cell elongation.
