Increasing tiller number is a target of high-yield rice breeding. Identification tiller-defect mutants and their corresponding genes helpful for clarifying the molecular mechanism tillering. Summarizing research progress on two processes formation, namely formation growth axillary meristem, this paper reviews effects genetic factors, endogenous hormones, exogenous environment tillering, finding that multiple mechanisms signal pathways regulating tillering cooperate discusses future objectives application its regulatory mechanism. Elucidation theis will be breeding high-yielding cultivars with ideal plant type via design
