Prospects for genetically modified crops
SummaryGenetically modified (GM) crops have been in use commercially around the world for almost a decade. This review covers the successes and failures of GM crop varieties in that time, the current status of GM crop adoption and the traits that are being used. It also describes some of the GM crops that might come on to the market in the next decade.

According to European Union (EU) legislation, genetically modified (GM) crops released for commercial cultivation have to be monitored. Here we summarise the discussion of a working group that convened during the 4th International Workshop on Post Market

MULTI-FLORET SPIKELET 4 (MFS4) Regulates Spikelet Development and Grain Size in Rice
In rice, the spikelet is the basic unit of inflorescence, and its development is important for determining the grain yield and quality. We reported a rice spikelet mutant multi-floret spikelet 4 (mfs4) which resulted in the production of extra floral ...

Less hairy leaf 1, an RNaseH-like protein, regulates trichome formation in rice through auxin
The trichomes of rice leaves are formed by the differentiation and development of epidermal cells. Plant trichomes play an important role in stress resistance and protection against direct ultraviolet irradiation.

The spikelet is a unique inflorescence structure in grasses. However, the molecular mechanism that regulates its development remains unclear, and we therefore characterize a spikelet mutant of rice (Oryza sativa L.), aberrant-floral spikelet 1 (afs1 ...

In polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based nucleic acid quantification, the DNA template type, primer/probe sequence, and instrument platform such as real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) affect the accuracy and reliability of ...

Background Zebra leaf mutants are an important resource for studying leaf colour in rice. In most such mutants, the zebra leaf phenotype results from defective chloroplast biogenesis. The molecular mechanism by which zebra leaves develop remains unclear,

Decreased Vascular Bundle 1 affects mitochondrial and plant development in rice
Background Mitochondria are vital regulators of plant growth and development, constitute the predominant source of ATP, and participate in multiple anabolic and catabolic metabolic pathways.
