• Identification of a novel SPLIT-HULL SPH gene associated with hull splitting in rice Oryza sativa L.., 2018, Theor Appl Genet.

Genbank accession number

• The split-hull phenotype caused by reduced lemma width and low lignin content is under control of SPH encoding a type-2 13-lipoxygenase and contributes to high dehulling efficiency
• Morphological and chemical analysis revealed that reduction in the width of the lemma and lignin content of the hull in the sph mutant might be the cause of hull splitting
