The researchers studied how changing the number of spikelets on rice plants affects the weight of the grains they produce. They found that as more spikelets grow on a single panicle, the weight of each grain decreases. Hybrids with fewer spikelets per panicle had heavier grains. This means that farmers can use the number of spikelets as a guide to predict grain weight and improve rice quality.
