Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice
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.

ABSTRACT Head rice yield (HRY) is a crucial quality trait that determines the final commodity yield and commercial value of rice. Conversely, chalkiness represents an undesirable appearance characteristic, significantly impairing rice marketability. Thus, developing rice germplasms with superior HRY and appearance traits is highly desirable for rice ...

Cas9‐Embedding Hyperactive TadA8e Confers Efficient and Highly Specific A‐To‐G Base Editing in Rice
ABSTRACT Adenine base editors (ABEs) produce precise A‐to‐G conversion in the genomic target sites without causing double‐strand breaks. However, the hyperactive adenosine deaminase TadA8e raises safety concerns on genome‐wide off‐target edits. We engineered 11 chimeric proteins for ABEs (CP‐ABEs) by embedding hyperactive TadA8e within Cas9 nickase to ...

ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), threatens global banana production. Lignin reinforces cell walls against pathogens and lodging, yet its regulatory mechanisms in banana remain elusive. Through genome‐wide association study (GWAS) of lignin content across 184 banana accessions, we identified ...
