The chilling stress induced by the global climate change harms rice production, especially at
seedling and booting stage, which feed half the population of the world. Although there are …

In plants, carbohydrates are central products of photosynthesis. Rice is a staple that
contributes to the daily calorie intake for over half of the world's population. Hence, the …

Rare variants contribute significantly to the 'missing heritability'of quantitative traits. The
genome‐wide characteristics of rare variants and their roles in environmental adaptation of …

A pangenome encompasses the complete genetic diversity of a species, by assembling a
range of representative individuals from various populations. This review describes the …

Rice grain number is a crucial agronomic trait impacting yield. In this study, we characterized
a quantitative trait locus (QTL), GRAIN NUMBER 1.1 (GN1. 1), which encodes a Flowering …

Cation exchanger (CAX) genes play an important role in plant growth/development and
response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Here, we tried to obtain important information on the …

Crop genomics has advanced rapidly during the past decade, which generated a great
abundance of omics data from multi-omics studies. How to utilize the accumulating data …

Transposable elements (TEs) are ubiquitous genomic components and hard to study due to
their highly repetitive. Here we assembled 232 chromosome-level genomes based on long …

Ongoing soil salinization has emerged as a major adverse environmental stress that
globally threatens crop growth and productivity (Munns et al., 2020). As one of the most …

The heading date, a critical trait influencing the rice yield and quality, has always been a hot
topic in breeding research. Appropriately delaying the flowering time of excellent northern …
