Polyploid rice, first discovered by Japanese scientist Eiiti Nakamori in 1933, has a history of
nearly 90 years. In the following years, polyploid rice studies have mainly focused on …

Male sterility is classified as either cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) or genic male sterility
(GMS). Generally, CMS involves mitochondrial genomes interacting with the nuclear …

Lead is a very toxic and futile heavy metal for rice plants because of its injurious effects on
plant growth and metabolic processes. Polyploidy or whole genome doubling increases the …

同源四倍体水稻具有籽粒增大, 营养成分增加和抗性增强等特点, 但其育性普遍偏低, 影响产量,
无法直接应用. 高育性四倍体水稻的成功创制解决了同源四倍体水稻育性偏低的瓶颈问题 …

Background Neo-tetraploid rice lines exhibit high fertility and strong heterosis and harbor
novel specific alleles, which are useful germplasm for polyploid rice breeding. However, the …

Ploidy manipulation is an efficient technique for the development of novel phenotypes in
plant breeding. However, in rice (Oryza sativa L.), severe seed sterility has been considered …

Sexual reproduction in angiosperms requires the production and delivery of two male
gametes by a three-celled haploid male gametophyte. This demands synchronized gene …

Main conclusion CRISPR/Cas technology has greatly facilitated plant non-coding RNA
(ncRNA) biology research, establishing itself as a promising tool for ncRNA functional …

In flowering plants, successful germinal cell development and meiotic recombination
depend upon a combination of environmental and genetic factors. To gain insights into this …

The intergenic space of plant genomes encodes many functionally important yet unexplored
RNAs. The genomic loci encoding these RNAs are often considered “junk”, DNA as they are …
