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.

Evaluation of cropping method for perennial ratoon rice (SALIBU) [PDF]

F1000Research, 2019
Background : Generally, the yield of ratoon rice is at most 50% of the main crop. However, a cropping method “SALIBU” achieved more yield than the main crop and could be used for the cultivation of perennial cropping.

The legacies of the “Father of Hybrid Rice” and the seven representative achievements of Chinese rice research: A pioneering perspective towards sustainable development

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The “Father of Hybrid Rice”, Yuan Longping, created high-yield hybrid rice that can feed tens of millions of people annually. The research achievements of Yuan and his team on low cadmium-accumulating rice and sea rice, in addition to hybrid rice, as ...

Socio-economic and ecological functions of perennial rice

, 2023
Perennial rice (PR), once planting could be harvest for several years without seeds, seedling nursery, ploughing and transplanting by regrowing new tillers from rhizome since the second year (season). It made rice production easier for farmers which reduced almost 50% agricultural and labor cost, freed significant and intensive labor force.

Evolution of Plant Architecture in Oryza Driven by the PROG1 Locus

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The genetic control of plant architecture in crops is critical for agriculture and understanding morphological evolution. This study showed that an open reading frame (ORF) of the rice domestication gene PROG1 appeared 3.4–3.9 million years ago (Mya ...

Neo-functionalization of a Teosinte branched 1 homologue mediates adaptations of upland rice

Nature Communications, 2020
A transposon insertion in the regulatory region of maize Tb1 gene leads to increased apical dominance and a reduction of tillering. Here, the authors showed that a duplicated rice Tb1 orthologue, OsTb2, has gained a regulatory effect on tillering ...
