Female Sterility in an Indica-Japonica Cross of Rice

Japanese Journal of Breeding, 1984
Sterility is one of the obstacles to rice breeding for introducing useful genes by wide crossing, and many studies have reported on the sterility in indica×japonica crosses of rice. However, very few reports have dealt with female sterility. Typical female sterility was found in the backcrossed progenies that were developed in the breeding program to ...

OsPIP2;1 impacts root hydraulic conductance and is a candidate gene for a drought avoidance QTL on rice chromosome 7

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In this study, we identified a rice plasma membrane intrinsic aquaporin (OsPIP2;1) as the candidate gene for a chromosome 7 locus driving drought avoidance, supported by established and novel physiological experiments measuring root hydraulic conductance in near isogenic and RNAi knockdown lines.

Species‐Specific Adaptability in Seasonal Resource Use by Non‐Breeding Crows: Contrasting Responses to Natural and Anthropogenic Environments

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
Two sympatric crow species showed distinct resource use during the snow‐free season, exploiting different environments and anthropogenic resources. In contrast, during winter, both species converged on similar habitats and food resources under snow cover. These results highlight flexible, season‐dependent resource use in non‐breeding crows.

Time‐ and cultivar‐dependent biochemical responses to heat priming and stress in rice

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Global warming increasingly threatens rice productivity, and understanding the biochemical mechanisms underlying heat stress responses is crucial for developing resilient cultivars. By demonstrating that stress responses are both cultivar‐ and time‐of‐day‐dependent, our findings offer new insights into the temporal and genetic regulation of acquired ...

Effects of applying Trichoderma asperellum to rice (Oryza sativa) on phytobiome and plant responses

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
We investigated the effect of dipping at transplanting or post‐transplanting spray application on the root‐associated microbiome or leaf epiphytes via amplicon sequencing, and on plant responses via RNA‐seq. Both root dipping and foliar application with Trichoderma asperellum spore suspension only had a limited impact on the leaf epiphytes and root ...

Drought and Herbivory Drive Physiological and Phytohormonal Changes in Soybean (Glycine max Merril): Insights From a Meta‐Analysis

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4041-4053, July 2026.
ABSTRACT With climate change, abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and herbivory are predicted to further diminish agricultural productivity. Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill), a crop of global economic importance, is vulnerable to both. However, the interactive effects of drought and herbivory on soybeans haven't been explored, especially ...

Ocean Romance: Japanese Treefrogs Exploit Coastal Pools for Breeding Under Salinity and Habitat Constraints

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Topographical features, including elevation and the distance of pools from the coastline and forest, influenced breeding‐site use in coastal landscapes. Pool characteristics such as area and depth, together with abiotic conditions particularly salinity, as well as dissolved oxygen, and temperature, further shaped breeding‐site suitability and patterns ...

High-density field-based 3D reconstruction of rice architecture across diverse cultivars for genome-wide association studies

Plant Methods
Background Rice plant architecture underpins yield and grain quality, yet two obstacles impede accurate field characterization in dense paddies. First, single-plant reconstruction is constrained by severe inter-plant occlusion, cluttered backgrounds, and

Evolutionary Patterns of the Genes Involved in the Integrity and Segregation of Chromosomes in Sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study identifies and characterizes the genes encoding cohesin and condensin complexes across Symphytan superfamilies, revealing their structural and functional roles with conserved motifs in maintaining genome stability. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that SMC genes originated from ancient duplication events, with notable gene loss (e.g., CAPG2 ...
