As the basic unit of rice (Oryza sativaL.) inflorescence, the spikelet has a profound influence on grain size, weight, and yield. However, the molecular mechanism that underlies the development of spikelets has never been fully elucidated. In this study, we characterized a rice spikelet mutant,multi‐grains 1(mg1), which was derived from treatment of ‘Xinong 1B’ with ethyl methanesulfonate. In themg1mutant, the spikelet developed two florets with an extra lemma‐like organ and an increased number of inner floral organs. Notably, the spikelet could produce multi‐grains. These phenotypes reflect the considerable potential of usingmg1as a means of increasing rice yield. Genetic analysis revealed that themg1phenotype is controlled by a single recessive gene. TheMG1gene was mapped to the interval between simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers RM20754 and RM494 on chromosome 6 within a physical region of 121.57 kb. Sequencing analysis identified a single‐nucleotide substitution from G to A withinOs06g0717200(which corresponds toFLORAL ORGAN NUMBER 1[FON1]), causing an amino acid mutation of Gly‐869 to Asp‐869 in themg1mutant. This finding suggests thatMG1may be a novel allele ofFON1.MG1is involved in the development of spikelet determinacy and floral organs by regulating the expression of genes associated with these characteristics. The present results detail a novel function ofMG1, which may facilitate the breeding of rice cultivars with increased numbers of grains per panicle.
