Potential roles of stigma exsertion on spikelet fertility in rice (Oryza sativa L.) under heat stress [PDF]
Heat stress during the flowering stage induces declining spikelet fertility in rice plants, which is primarily attributed to poor pollination manifesting as insufficient pollen deposited on the stigma.

Screening and identification of genes affecting grain quality and spikelet fertility during high-temperature treatment in grain filling stage of rice [PDF]
Background Recent temperature increases due to rapid climate change have negatively affected rice yield and grain quality. Particularly, high temperatures during right after the flowering stage reduce spikelet fertility, while interfering with sugar ...

Abnormal anther development leads to lower spikelet fertility in rice (Oryza sativa L.) under high temperature during the panicle initiation stage [PDF]
Background Decreased spikelet fertility is often responsible for reduction in grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). In this study, two varieties with different levels of heat tolerance, Liangyoupeijiu (LYPJ, heat susceptible) and Shanyou63 (SY63, heat ...

Gibberellic Acid: A Key Phytohormone for Spikelet Fertility in Rice Grain Production. [PDF]
The phytohormone gibberellic acid (GA) has essential signaling functions in multiple processes during plant development. In the “Green Revolution”, breeders developed high-yield rice cultivars that exhibited both semi-dwarfism and altered GA responses, thus improving grain production.

MSD1 regulates pedicellate spikelet fertility in sorghum through the jasmonic acid pathway. [PDF]
AbstractGrain number per panicle (GNP) is a major determinant of grain yield in cereals. However, the mechanisms that regulate GNP remain unclear. To address this issue, we isolate a series of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] multiseeded (msd) mutants that can double GNP by increasing panicle size and altering floral development so that all ...

The Rice Floral Repressor Early flowering1 Affects Spikelet Fertility By Modulating Gibberellin Signaling. [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundGibberellic acid (GA; or gibberellin) affects the development of floral organs, especially anthers and pollen, and perturbation of development of male floral organs can cause sterility. Many studies of GA signaling have concentrated on anther development, but the effect of GA on grain production remains to be examined.ResultsUsing a ...

Barley SIX-ROWED SPIKE3 encodes a putative Jumonji C-type H3K9me2/me3 demethylase that represses lateral spikelet fertility. [PDF]
The VRS genes of barley control the fertility of the lateral spikelets on the barley inflorescence. Here, Bull et al. show that VRS3 encodes a putative Jumonji C-type histone demethylase that regulates expression of other VRS genes, and genes involved in

A rice calcium-dependent protein kinase OsCPK9 positively regulates drought stress tolerance and spikelet fertility. [PDF]
In plants, calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) are involved in tolerance to abiotic stresses and in plant seed development. However, the functions of only a few rice CDPKs have been clarified. At present, it is unclear whether CDPKs also play a role in regulating spikelet fertility.We cloned and characterized the rice CDPK gene, OsCPK9.

The effect of alternate wetting and drying (AWD) on spikelet fertility, grain traits and the biosynthesis of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) in rice grown under high temperature [PDF]
Background High temperature attributed to climate change is a major obstacle to rice production. This study examined how alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation can mitigate the effects of high temperatures on rice production.

Temporal Sensitivities of Rice Seed Development from Spikelet Fertility to Viable Mature Seed to Extreme‐Temperature [PDF]
Extreme temperature during reproductive development affects rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield and seed quality. A controlled-environment reciprocal-transfer experiment was designed where plants from two japonica cultivars were grown at 28/24 ⁰C and moved to ...
