Rice yield potentiality has been enhanced much after incorporating semi-dwarf trait in rice,
which has led to the Green Revolution worldwide, but afterward, yield potentiality has …

Lodging is not just mere falling off plants; it creates a huge economic loss to farmers; most of
our agricultural and horticultural crops face the problem of lodging in severe winds and …

Rice breeders are now developing new varieties with semi-high or even high plant height to
further increase the grain yield, and the problem of lodging has re-appeared. We identified a …

Key message We detected the major QTL-qSR. A07, which regulated stem strength and was
fine-mapped to 490 kb. BnaA07G0302800ZS and BnaA07G0305700ZS as the candidate …

Increasing the lodging resistance of rice through genetic improvement has been an
important target in breeding. To further enhance the lodging resistance of high-yielding rice …

Future sustainability visions include clean, renewable energy from hydrogen, which can be
produced, among other ways, by biomass steam gasification. This study explores strategies …

In Kenya and many other African countries, improving rice productivity is vital for future food
security. To improve rice productivity in Kenya, near-isogenic lines (NIL) were developed by …

The FZP gene plays a critical role in the formation of lateral branches and spikelets in rice
panicle architecture. This study investigates the qSBN7 allele, a hypomorphic variant of FZP …

Background Rice is one of the major staples that feeds about one half of the global
populations, and it is important to identify the genetic loci for the traits related to yield …

With the endless growth of the population and development of the economy and living
standards, a high yield with good grain quality has become the prime objective of breeding …
