Total grain yield of rice can be calculated as grain number x average grain weight, where grain number is the total number of grains per panicle. Although the low ability of smosl to produce tillers was not fully reversed in LRC1, this was however compensated by an increased grain weight per panicle, thereby achieving high grain yield per plant in the latter (Fig.
