Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time‐consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high‐quality genomes.

Comparative Composition of Brown Rice Lipids (Lipid Fractions) of Indica and Japonica Rices
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 1999 The brown rice lipids were analyzed from three japonica and two indica rices. They had substantially no difference in the ratio of NL, GL, and PL, the C16/C18 (16:0/the sum of 18:0, 18:1, 18:2, and 18:3) ratio in PL classes, and in the order of unsaturated index in each glycerolipid class among the five varieties.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is the causal agent of bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease in rice, exerting a detrimental impact on the yield of various rice cultivars in Vietnam, notably the Bacthom 7 (BT7) variety. Xoo possesses transcription activator‐like effectors (TALEs) which modulate the expression of host genes by specifically ...

Transcriptional profiling of indica rice cultivar FR13A under submergence treatment. [PDF]
, 2007 An indica rice cultivar FR13A, is widely grown as submergence tolerant variety and can withstand submergence up to two weeks. The tolerance is governed by a major QTL on chromosome 9 and represented as sub1. Recently the gene for sub1 has been mapped and

Producing cadmium-free Indica rice by overexpressing OsHMA3
Environment International, 2019 Considerable proportions of rice grains produced in some areas in southern China contain high concentrations of cadmium (Cd), leading to unsafe levels of dietary Cd intake. Cultivars of Indica rice, widely grown in southern China, are particularly prone to high Cd accumulation in the grain.
