Increasing grain yields is a major focus of crop breeders
around the world. Here we report that overexpression of the
rice microRNA (miRNA) OsmiR397, which is naturally highly
expressed in young panicles and grains, enlarges grain size
and promotes panicle branching, leading to an increase
in overall grain yield of up to 25% in a field trial. To our
knowledge, no previous report has shown a positive regulatory
role of miRNA in the control of plant seed size and grain
yield. We determined that OsmiR397 increases grain yield by
downregulating its target, OsLAC, whose product is a laccase-
like protein that we found to be involved in the sensitivity of
plants to brassinosteroids. As miR397 is highly conserved
across different species, our results suggest that manipulating
miR397 may be useful for increasing grain yield not only in
rice but also in other cereal crops.
Rice yield is a complex trait that is directly associated with grain
size and with panicle number, the number of grains per panicle1.
Although several genes have been found to regulate these traits2–8, our
knowledge of the gene networks that control rice yield is still limited.
Exploring new genes that modulate these traits would help us better
understand the relevant molecular mechanisms and would also facili-
tate the breeding of new varieties with higher yields. miRNAs, a class
of abundant small noncoding RNAs, have been identified as impor-
tant regulators of gene expression in both plants and animals and are
involved in many aspects of plant development, including the modu-
lation of plant agricultural traits9. Two recent studies reported that
OsmiR156 could negatively control the number of panicle branches
and grain yield10,11. These observations suggest a role for miRNAs
in controlling rice yield. However, miRNAs that positively regulate
