Producing sufficient food with finite resources to feed the growing global population while
having a smaller impact on the environment has always been a great challenge. Here, we …

Salinity-alkalinity is incipient abiotic stress that impairs plant growth and development. Rice
(Oryza sativa) is a major food crop greatly affected by soil salinity and alkalinity, requiring …

Background Asian rice is one of the world's most widely cultivated crops. Large-scale
resequencing analyses have been undertaken to explore the domestication and de …

Rice (Oryza sativa) provides a staple food source for more than half the world population.
However, the current pace of rice breeding in yield growth is insufficient to meet the food …

Interpreting the functional impacts of genetic variants (GVs) is an important challenge for
functional genomic studies in crops and next-generation breeding. Previous studies in rice …

Anthocyanins are a major subclass of flavonoids that have diverse biological functions and
benefit human health. In rice (Oryza sativa), the various colors shown by organs are due …

Preharvest sprouting (PHS) is a deleterious phenotype that occurs frequently in rice-growing
regions where the temperature and precipitation are high. It negatively affects yield, quality …

Salt stress is a major challenge that has a negative impact on soybean growth and
productivity. Therefore, it is important to understand the regulatory mechanism of salt …

Drought is a major environmental stress limiting crop yields worldwide. Upland rice (Oryza
sativa) has evolved complex genetic mechanisms for adaptative growth under drought …

Since the completion of the rice genome sequencing project in 2005, we have entered the
era of rice genomics, which is still in its ascendancy. Rice genomics studies can be …
