Exploitation of crop heterosis is crucial for increasing global agriculture production.
However, the quantitative genomic analysis of heterosis was lacking, and there is currently …

Rice (Oryza sativa) is the staple food for more than half of the world population. Rice needs
2-3 times more water compared to other crops. Drought condition is one of the limited factor …

Abstract Tre6P (trehalose-6-phosphate) mediates sensing of carbon availability to maintain
sugar homeostasis in plants, which underpins crop yield and resilience. However, how …

Grain size is one of the key factors determining grain yield. However, it remains largely
unknown how grain size is regulated by developmental signals. Here, we report the …

Elucidation of the genetic control of rice architecture is crucial due to the global demand for
high crop yields. Rice architecture is a complex trait affected by plant height, tillering, and …

Continuous rise in the human population has resulted in an upsurge in food demand, which
in turn demand grain yield enhancement of cereal crops, including rice. Rice yield is …

Panicle architecture is a key determinant of grain yield in cereals, but the mechanisms
governing panicle morphogenesis and organ development remain elusive. Here, we have …

Crop varieties with a high yield are most desirable in the present context of the ever-growing
human population. Mostly, the yield traits are governed by a complex of numerous molecular …

Rice panicle architecture is a key target of selection when breeding for yield and grain
quality. However, panicle phenotypes are difficult to measure and susceptible to …

A variety of adverse conditions including drought stress severely affect rice production. Root
system plays a critical role in drought avoidance, which is one of the major mechanisms of …
