Natural variation in the promoter of TGW2 determines grain width and weight in rice [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2020
Summary Understanding the genetic basis of natural variation in grain size among diverse rice varieties can help breeders develop high‐yielding rice cultivars. Here, we report the discovery of qTGW2, a new semidominant quantitative trait locus for grain width and weight.

Construction of High-Density Genetic Map and QTL Mapping for Grain Shape in the Rice RIL Population

Plants, 2023
Grain shape is an important agronomic trait directly associated with yield in rice. In order to explore new genes related to rice grain shape, a high-density genetic map containing 2193 Bin markers (526957 SNP) was constructed by whole-genome ...

Grain shape is a factor affecting the stigma exsertion rate in rice

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Stigma exsertion rate (SER) is an index of outcrossing ability in rice and is a key trait of male sterile lines (MSLs) in hybrid rice. In this study, it was found that the maintainer lines carrying gs3 and gs3/gw8 showed higher SER.

Morphology of rain water channelization in systematically varied model sandy soils [PDF]

, 2014
We visualize the formation of fingered flow in dry model sandy soils under different raining conditions using a quasi-2d experimental set-up, and systematically determine the impact of soil grain diameter and surface wetting property on water ...

Size induced metal insulator transition in nanostructured Niobium thin films: Intragranular and intergranular contributions

, 2006
With a reduction in the average grain size in nanostructured films of elemental Nb, we observe a systematic crossover from metallic to weakly-insulating behavior.

A novel rice grain size gene OsSNB was identified by genome-wide association study in natural population.

PLoS Genetics, 2019
Increasing agricultural productivity is one of the most important goals of plant science research and imperative to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple crops worldwide.

Mapping and genetic validation of a grain size QTL qGS7.1 in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019
Grain size is a major determinant of grain weight, which is one of the components of rice yield. The objective o this study was to identify novel, and important quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for grain size and weight in rice.

FGW1, a protein containing DUF630 and DUF632 domains, regulates grain size and filling in Oryza sativa L.

Crop Journal, 2023
Grain filling influences grain size and quality in cereal crops. The molecular mechanisms that regulate grain endosperm development remain elusive. In this study, we characterized a filling-defective and grain width mutant, fgw1, whose mutation increased

Phase field model of premelting of grain boundaries

, 2001
We present a phase field model of solidification which includes the effects of the crystalline orientation in the solid phase. This model describes grain boundaries as well as solid-liquid boundaries within a unified framework. With an appropriate choice

Grain boundaries of nanocrystalline materials – their widths, compositions, and internal structures [PDF]

Hyperfine Interactions, 2000
Nanocrystalline materials contain many atoms at and near grain boundaries. Sufficient numbers of Mossbauer probe atoms can be situated in grain boundary environments to make a clear contribution to the measured Mossbauer spectrum. Three types of measurements on nanocrystalline materials are reported here, all using Mossbauer spectrometry in conjunction
