Fig. 5 QTL analysis confirmed that gs3 allele from donor GKBR increased grain length significantly.

Overexpression of SPL13 increased grain length by promoting cell elongation in spikelet hulls (Si et al., 2016).

Recently, Wu et al. (2016) found that the overexpression line (OE-CPB1) of CPB1/D11 under the control of the maize ubiquitin promoter showed increased grain length and 1000-grain weight.
