In this study, relative germination percentage (RGP) and delayed mean germination time
(DMGT) were measured in various rice accessions at the germination stage and carried out …

Key message The resistance of Huaidao5 results from the high constitutive expression of
tolerance genes, while that of Huaidao9 is due to the cold-induced resistance in flag leaves …

MYB-type transcription factors play an essential regulatory role in seed germination and the
response to seedling establishment stress. This study isolated a rice R2R3-MYB …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is often exposed to cool temperatures during spring planting in
temperate climates. A better understanding of genetic pathways regulating chilling tolerance …

Seed aging is a common physiological phenomenon during storage which has a great
impact on seed quality. An in-depth analysis of the physiological and molecular mechanisms …

Premature senescence is a common occurrence in rice production, and seriously affects rice
plants' nutrient utilization and growth. A total of 120 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) were …

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was used to investigate the genetic basis of
chilling tolerance in a collection of 117 rice accessions, including 26 Korean landraces and …

Seed vigor in crops is important in terms of improving grain quality and germplasm
conservation; however, little is known about its regulatory mechanisms through the encoded …

Seed germination directly affects growth and yield of rice. Germination process is highly
dependent on temperature which regulates expression of several genes and proteins in …

Background Seed dormancy, a quality characteristic that plays a role in seed germination,
