The Green Revolution of the 1960s improved crop yields in part through the widespread
cultivation of semidwarf plant varieties, which resist lodging but require a high-nitrogen (N) …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

The intensive application of inorganic nitrogen underlies marked increases in crop
production, but imposes detrimental effects on ecosystems,: it is therefore crucial for future …

Nitrogen-use efficiency of indica varieties of rice is superior to that of japonica varieties. We
apply 16S ribosomal RNA gene profiling to characterize root microbiota of 68 indica and 27 …

to‐shoot transport of nitrogen 38 IV. Nitrogen storage pools in vegetative tissues 39 V …

Extensive allelic variation in agronomically important genes serves as the basis of rice
breeding. Here, we present a comprehensive map of rice quantitative trait nucleotides …

To ensure high crop yields in a sustainable manner, a comprehensive understanding of the
control of nutrient acquisition is required. In particular, the signalling networks controlling the …

Nitrogen accounts for approximately 60% of the fertilizer consumed each year; thus, it
represents one of the major input costs for most nonlegume crops. Nitrate is one of the two …

CRISPR–Cas9 methods have been applied to generate random insertions and deletions,
large deletions, targeted insertions or replacements of short sequences, and precise base …

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 …
