Can the Wild Perennial, Rhizomatous Rice Species Oryza longistaminata be a Candidate for De Novo Domestication?

Rice, 2023
As climate change intensifies, the development of resilient rice that can tolerate abiotic stresses is urgently needed. In nature, many wild plants have evolved a variety of mechanisms to protect themselves from environmental stresses.

Convergent evolution of perenniality in rice and sorghum [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003
Annual and perennial habit are two major strategies by which grasses adapt to seasonal environmental change, and these distinguish cultivated cereals from their wild relatives. Rhizomatousness, a key trait contributing to perenniality, was investigated by using an F 2 population from a cross between cultivated rice (

Use of RNAi With OsMYB76R as a Reporter for Candidate Genes Can Efficiently Create and Verify Gametophytic Male Sterility in Rice

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Gametophytic male sterility (GMS) plays an important role in the study of pollen development and seed propagation of recessive nuclear male sterile lines insensitive to the environmental conditions in hybrid rice breeding.

Discussion: Prioritize  Perennial Grain Development for Sustainable Food Production and Environmental  Benefits            

, 2023
Perennial grains have potential to contribute to ecological intensification of food production by enabling the direct harvest of human-edible crops without requiring annual cycles of disturbance and replanting.

Single marker analysis for leaf gas exchange traits from RILS of RD 23 (O. sativa L.) and O. longistaminata

Biotechnology Reports, 2022
Rice is frequently affected by drought. However, economic water usage by the crop less impacted the stress. Its improvement should thus rely on assessing and utilizing the genetic bases of Carbon balance and water use efficient traits.

Characterization and evolutionary diversification of the phospholipase D gene family in mosses

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Plant phospholipase D (PLD) exerts important roles in various biological processes, such as intracellular signaling and morphological development. Our knowledge about early land plant PLDs is still underdeveloped.

Perennial rice improves farmer livelihood and ecosystem security [PDF]

, 2022
Abstract To tackle food insecurity faced by an ever-growing population, there is an urgent need to develop new forms of highly productive and ecologically-secure agricultural systems. Crop perennialization provides a novel and promising solution to both food security and environmental challenges.

Solving the mystery of Obake rice in Africa: population structure analyses of Oryza longistaminata reveal three genetic groups and evidence of both recent and ancient introgression with O. sativa

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The undomesticated rice relative Oryza longistaminata is a valuable genetic resource for the improvement of the domesticated Asian rice, Oryza sativa. To facilitate the conservation, management, and use of O.
