Rice is a staple crop for half the world's population, which is expected to grow by 3 billion
over the next 30 years. It is also a key model for studying the genomics of agroecosystems …

The WRKY gene family in flowering plants encodes a large group of transcription factors
(TFs) that play essential roles in diverse stress responses, developmental, and physiological …

Here we analyse genetic variation, population structure and diversity among 3,010 diverse
Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomes from the 3,000 Rice Genomes Project. Our …

The rich genetic diversity in Oryza sativa and Oryza rufipogon serves as the main sources in
rice breeding. Large-scale resequencing has been undertaken to discover allelic variants in …

Arabidopsis thaliana serves as a model organism for the study of fundamental physiological,
cellular, and molecular processes. It has also greatly advanced our understanding of …

Understanding the quantitative genetics of crops has been and will continue to be central to
maintaining and improving global food security. We outline four stages that plant breeding …
