Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa) plant architecture and grain shape, which determine grain quality and yield, are modulated by auxin and brassinosteroid via regulation of cell elongation and proliferation. We review the signal transduction of these hormones and the crosstalk between their signals on the regulation of rice plant architecture and grain shape.
