With rising living standards, there is an increasing demand for high-quality rice. Rice quality
is mainly defined by milling quality, appearance quality, cooking and eating quality, and …

Grain chalkiness, an undesirable trait caused by complex factors, has great negative
impacts on the quality and economic value of rice. However, little is known about the …

Background Grain chalkiness is one of important factors affected rice grain quality. It is
known that chalkiness is affected by the high temperature during the seed filling period …

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are one of the most important genetic markers and widely
exist in most species. Here, we identified 249,822 SSRs from 3,951,919 genes in 112 plants …

It is well known that the overall quality of japonica/geng rice is superior to that of indica/xian
rice varieties. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the quality disparities …

Rice quality assessment is essential for meeting high-quality standards and consumer
demands. However, challenges remain in developing cost-effective and rapid techniques to …

Plant height (PH) in rice (Oryza sativa) is an important trait for its adaptation and agricultural
performance. Discovery of the semi‐dwarf1 (SD1) mutation initiated the Green Revolution …

Chalkiness is one of several major restricting factors for the improvement of rice quality.
Although many chalkiness-related quantitative trait loci have been mapped, only a small …

Asian cultivated rice is a self-pollinating crop, which has already lost some traits of natural
outcrossing in the process of domestication. However, male sterility lines (MSLs) need to …
