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 …

Crops feed the world's population and shape human civilization. The improvement of crop
productivity has been ongoing for almost 10,000 years and has evolved from an experience …

Genetic variation ranging from single-nucleotide polymorphisms to large structural variants
(SVs) can cause variation of gene content among individuals within the same species. There …

Transgene over-expression has fueled many important plant biology discoveries in the last
40 years, as well as the development of economically important transgenic crop varieties …

Unraveling the regulatory mechanisms that govern complex traits is pivotal for advancing
crop improvement. Here we present a comprehensive regulome atlas for rice (Oryza sativa) …

Understanding the genetic basis of natural variation in grain size among diverse rice
varieties can help breeders develop high‐yielding rice cultivars. Here, we report the …

Seed size is one of the most important agronomic traits determining the yield of crops.
Cloning the key genes controlling seed size and pyramiding their elite alleles will facilitate …

High-stress resistance and yield are major goals in crop cultivation, which can be addressed
by modifying plant architecture. Significant progress has been made in recent years to …

APETALA2/ethylene response factor (AP2/ERF) is widely found in the plant kingdom and
plays crucial roles in transcriptional regulation and defense response of plant growth and …
