Interactions Among Multiple Quantitative Trait Loci Underlie Rhizome Development of Perennial Rice. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2020
Perennial crops have some advantages over annuals in soil erosion prevention, lower labor and water requirements, carbon sequestration, and maintenance of thriving soil ecosystems. Rhizome, a kind of root-like underground stem, is a critical component of perenniality, which allows many grass species to survive through harsh environment.

Sustained productivity and agronomic potential of perennial rice

Nature Sustainability, 2022
AbstractThere is an urgent need for agricultural systems to intensify sustainably, increasing crop productivity, farmer livelihoods and soil health while using fewer resources. Crop perennialization, the conversion of especially annual grains to perennial forms, has shown such possibility.

Functional characterization of transporter genes in rice node at single-cell resolution through multi-omics technologies [PDF]

Genome Biology
Background The rice node is a critical hub for the distribution of mineral nutrients, mediated by transporters. Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth. However, the precise cell types and the cell-type-enriched transporter genes in

Testing of Rice Stocks for Their Survival of Winter Cold

Rice Science, 2018
Rice cultivation is considered to be initiated by vegetative propagation of sprout from wild perennial stocks. To test whether any presently cultivated rice cultivar can survive the winter cold or not, rice stocks of several cultivars including indica ...

Sustainable agriculture through perennial grains: Wheat, rice, maize, and other species. A review [PDF]

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2022
Grain crops are an important part of the human diet, accounting for a third of the consumed calories. Throughout human history, annual grain crops with high yields have been obtained through domestication. However, the “annual” characteristic brings associated a series of economic and environmental disadvantages, such as soil erosion or low soil ...

Endophytic bacteria in different tissue compartments of African wild rice (Oryza longistaminata) promote perennial rice growth

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Oryza longistaminata is an African wild rice species with valuable agronomic traits and the donor parent of perennial rice. Endophytic bacteria play an important role in host health, adaptive evolution and stress tolerance.

Australian wild rice reveals pre-domestication origin of polymorphism deserts in rice genome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND:Rice is a major source of human food with a predominantly Asian production base. Domestication involved selection of traits that are desirable for agriculture and to human consumers.

Agronomic and economic evaluation of ratoon rice cropping systems with perennial rice varieties in West Africa

Field Crops Research
With rapid population increase, labour scarcity, and soil nutrient depletion, agricultural lands must be used sustainably to meet the ever-increasing demands for food and livelihood. Perennial rice varieties show promise in meeting the conflicting needs for reducing input use while increasing agricultural production.

Application of perennial legume green manures to improve growth and yield of organic lowland rice

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2016
A pot experiment in green house was done to study the effect of the dosage and speciesof perennial legume green manures to the physiological traits, growth and yield of organic lowland rice (Oryza sativaL.), and to obtain the optimal dosage as well.  The
