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 ...

Enhancing CRISPR‐Cas12a base editing in plants with LbCas12a variants and introns

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Intron optimization of LbCas12a‐RRV improves cytosine and adenine base editing efficiency in plants, supports multiplexed and double‐strand break‐free genome modification, and expands precise genome engineering tools for crop breeding and plant functional research. ABSTRACT Cytosine base editors (CBEs) and adenine base editors (ABEs) are powerful tools

The decrease in panicle number is the main reason for the yield reduction of japonica rice caused by 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene stress

Frontiers in Plant Science
Persistent organic pollutants seriously affect the growth and development of crops. 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene (TCB), as one of the most widely used chlorobenzenes, can affect the yield of japonica rice.

Divergent roles of ent‐kaurene oxidase paralogs in rice momilactone biosynthesis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Rice contains a five‐gene tandem array of genes encoding members of the ent‐kaurene oxidase (KO) family, with OsKOL4 and OsKOL5 playing divergent roles in momilactone metabolism, but both acting in the production of antifungal and antibacterial phytoalexins, which are important for disease resistance.

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.

Natural variation in the promoter of OsPDX1.2 enhances vitamin B6 accumulation and cold tolerance in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Allelic variation in the promoter of the pyridoxal phosphate synthase OsPDX1.2 caused variation in the ACE‐box cis‐elements, resulting in differing OsPDX1.2 expression due to differences in binding affinity between the OsbZIP18 transcriptipn factor and the ACE‐box, contributing to variation in vitamin B6 levels and cold tolerance among rice varieties ...

Plant G proteins: Versatile signaling hubs for synergistic improvement of agronomic traits

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review highlights the roles of G‐protein signaling in crop yield and quality, as well as abiotic and biotic stress responses. It also discusses the feasibility of breaking the trade‐off between plant growth and stress tolerance via dissecting G‐protein regulatory pathways, gene editing, mining natural elite variants, and AI‐assisted breeding ...

Impact of the invasive diatom species Cymbella janischii on riverine microbial biofilm communities and a potential role of bacterially produced zeatin

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The diatom Cymbella janischii is an invasive species in Japan, causing nuisance blooms by forming thick mats in rivers. To date, there are no documented studies on the microbiome associations in C. janischii mats or the processes that drive bloom formation.
