Grain size and weight are directly associated with grain yield in crops. However, the molecular mechanisms that set final grain size and weight remain largely unknown. Here, we characterize two large grain mutants,large grain8‐1(large8‐1) andlarge grain8‐2(large8‐2).LARGE8encodes the mitogen‐activated protein kinase phosphatase1 (OsMKP1). Loss of function mutations inOsMKP1results in large grains, while overexpression ofOsMKP1leads to small grains. OsMKP1 determines grain size by restricting cell proliferation in grain hulls. OsMKP1 directly interacts with and deactivates the mitogen‐activated protein kinase 6 (OsMAPK6). Taken together, we identify OsMKP1 as a crucial factor that influences grain size by deactivating OsMAPK6, indicating that the reversible phosphorylation of OsMAPK6 plays important roles in determining grain size in rice.
