A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Different micro-climate response of indica rice population to nitrogen fertilizer

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2018
Field experiment was carried out from 2014 to 2016 to clarify the micro-climate response of indica rice population to nitrogen fertilizer. R498, R816 and R499 were used as representatives of drooping panicle, semi-erect panicle and erect panicle indica ...

Breeding for Resilient Cereals: Integrating Molecular Networks and Trait‐Based Selection to Improve Nitrogen and Water Use Efficiencies

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cereal crops are fundamental to global food security, but their production is increasingly challenged by rising demand and the unpredictable impacts of climate change. Among the most limiting and interdependent resources sustaining yields are nitrogen and water.

High-throughput sequencing analysis of microbial community diversity in response to indica and japonica bar-transgenic rice paddy soils.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Potential environmental risks of genetically modified (GM) crops have raised concerns. To better understand the effect of transgenic rice on the bacterial community in paddy soil, a field experiment was carried out using pairs of rice varieties from two ...

Molecular Chaperone Networks in Plants: Maintaining Proteostasis and Enhancing Stress Resilience for Crop Improvement

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

Physical Properties of NERICA Compared to Indica and Japonica Types of Rice [PDF]

, 2018
In Africa, rice production has been increasing due to the contribu-tion of NERICA rice. However, in-formation on physical properties of NERICA is required for designing efficient equipment for its produc-tion and expansion.

Development and Characterization of Elite Doubled Haploid Lines from Two Indica Rice Hybrids [PDF]

, 2015
Despite significant yield advantage over inbred rice, the adoption rate of hybrid rice in India is very low due to the high seed cost and poor quality of the produce.

Loss of a Silencing Cascade Contributed to Indica Rice Domestication [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 2018
Thousands of years of artificial selection have produced rice plants ( Oryza sativa ) that are vastly different from their wild progenitor species in terms of architecture, yield, and resilience. Most of the genetic changes linked to rice domestication involved genes encoding transcription factors.

Elimination of FRDL1, a xylem‐located citrate transporter, confers tolerance to excess unchelated ferrous iron through an exclusion mechanism in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Knock‐down of a xylem‐localized citrate transporter, FRDL1, reduces foliar iron concentrations and leaf symptoms under excess ferrous iron stress in rice. Abstract Iron (Fe) toxicity is a common agricultural problem that limits rice yield in various regions of Southeast Asia and Africa.
