Effects of the WTO and Free Trade Agreements on Japonica Rice Markets [PDF]

Three trade policy changes underway and on the horizon have the prospect to alter global markets for japonica rice. This paper considers likely global market effects of expansion of access into the market in Japan and Korea, and reduced subsidy for ...

TKC‐MC: An Effective Strategy for Generating Heritable Heterozygous Mutations in Essential Genes in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The CRISPR/Cas9 gene‐editing technology has been widely used in defining gene functions and crop improvement. However, some genes are essential for plant growth and development. Loss‐of‐function homozygous mutations in essential genes lead to plant death or sterility.

Changes in Rice Grain Quality of Indica and Japonica Type Varieties Released in China from 2000 to 2014

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
China is the first country to use heterosis successfully for commercial rice production. This study compared the main quality characteristics (head rice rate, chalky rice rate, chalkiness degree, gel consistency, amylose content, and length-to-width ...

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.

Sheath-blight resistance QTLS in japonica rice germplasm

Euphytica, 2011
Sheath blight (SB), caused by Rhizoctonia solani, is a serious disease of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) for which genetic resistance is in demand by breeders. With the goal of resistance (SBR)-QTL discovery in U. S. japonica breeding material, 197 doubled-haploid lines from a cross between MCR10277 (resistant) and Cocodrie (susceptible) were ...

OsMYB99 Modulates Grain Wax Biosynthesis and Redox Homeostasis to Control Head Rice Yield and Chalkiness

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
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 ...

Incorporation of banana flour into Japonica rice cakes and evaluation of its quality characteristics and resistant starch content

Cogent Food & Agriculture
This study explored the total starch content (TSC), amylose content (AC), and resistant starch content (RSC) of Japonica rice incorporated with three varieties of unripe and ripe bananas: Pei Chiao, Formosana, and Tai-Chiao No. 5.

Marker-assisted backcrossing for introgression of the saltol locus conferring salt stress tolerance in rice. [PE0856] [PDF]

, 2020
Soil salinization represents a threat for rice cultivation. The H2020 project NEURICE (New Commercial EUropean Rice) aimed at identifying and introducing genetic variation for salt tolerance in European rice germplasm, mainly by exploiting the positive ...

Cas9‐Embedding Hyperactive TadA8e Confers Efficient and Highly Specific A‐To‐G Base Editing in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
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 ...
