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 …

Shoot architecture is determined by the organization and activities of apical, axillary,
intercalary, secondary, and inflorescence meristems and by the subsequent development of …

A better understanding of the extent of convergent selection among crops could greatly
improve breeding programs. We found that the quantitative trait locus KRN2 in maize and its …

Here we analyse genetic variation, population structure and diversity among 3,010 diverse
Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomes from the 3,000 Rice Genomes Project. Our …

Crop production is facing unprecedented challenges. Despite the fact that the food supply
has significantly increased over the past half‐century,~ 8.9 and 14.3% people are still …

Current global agricultural production must feed over 7 billion people. However, productivity
varies greatly across the globe and is under threat from both increased competitions for land …

Abstract Development of abiotic stress tolerant rice cultivars is necessary for sustainable rice
production under the scenario of global climate change, dwindling fresh water resources …

As a major event in human civilization, wild plants were successfully domesticated to be
crops, largely owing to continuing artificial selection. Here, we summarize new discoveries …

Although genetic diversity has a cardinal role in domestication, abundant natural allelic
variations across the rice genome that cause agronomically important differences between …

Rice is a staple crop for half the world's population, which is expected to grow by 3 billion
over the next 30 years. It is also a key model for studying the genomics of agroecosystems …
