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.

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.

Evaluation of the impact of heat stress at flowering on spikelet fertility and grain quality in barley [PDF]
Against the backdrop of a warming climate, heat stress has become one of the most limiting factors to crop productivity and food security worldwide. The flowering stage is susceptible to high temperatures in cereal crops, leading to severe grain yield ...

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 ...

Auxin Application at the Flowering Stage of Rice Alleviates the Negative Impact of Heat Stress on Spikelet Fertility and Yield Attributes [PDF]
The reproductive stage of rice is vulnerable to heat stress, which reduces spikelet fertility and yield. Auxin significantly influences reproductive development, hence the research aimed to enhance spikelet fertility and grain attributes in rice plants ...

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 ...

Screening for Spikelet Fertility and Validation of Heat Tolerance in a Large Rice Mutant Population
A total of 10 000 M4 individuals in Jao Hom Nil (JHN) mutant population was treated with high temperature (40 °C to 45 °C) during the day time (6 h) from the booting to the harvesting stages, and ambient temperature (33 °C to 35 °C) was used as the ...

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 ...

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 ...
