Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

The accomplishment of further optimization of crop productivity in grain yield and quality is a
great challenge. Grain size is one of the crucial determinants of rice yield and quality; all of …

INTRODUCTION The green revolution of the 1960s boosted cereal crop yields in part
through widespread adoption of semi-dwarf plant varieties. The beneficial semi-dwarfism is …

Grain appearance, one of the key determinants of rice quality, reflects the ability to attract
consumers, and is characterized by four major properties: grain shape, chalkiness …

Jasmonic acid (JA) or methyl jasmonate (MeJA) are master regulators of plant development
and stress response against pathogens and environmental fluctuations. Thus, JA is an …

Diversity surveys of crop germplasm are important for gaining insights into the genomic
basis for plant architecture and grain yield improvement, which is still poorly understood in …

摘要植物激素是指植物通过自身代谢产生的, 在很低浓度下就能产生明显生理效应的一些有机
信号分子, 在植物生长发育及环境响应过程中具有至关重要的作用. 中国科学家利用植物组织离 …

High‐density planting is an effective measure for increasing crop yield per unit land area.
Leaf angle (LA) is a key trait of plant architecture and a target for genetic improvement of …

The high selection pressure applied in rice breeding since its domestication thousands of
years ago has caused a narrowing in its genetic variability. Obtaining new rice cultivars …

Plant nitrogen (N), acquired mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium from soil, dominates
growth and development, and high-yield crop production relies heavily on N fertilization. The …
