Background Neo-tetraploid rice (NTR) is a useful new germplasm that developed from the
descendants of the autotetraploid rice (ATR) hybrids. NTR showed improved fertility and …

Low temperature germination (LTG) is a key agronomic trait in rice (Oryza sativa L.).
However, the genetic basis of natural variation for LTG is largely unknown. Here, a genome …

The abrupt increase of temperatures during and after the flowering period of wheat is
defined as terminal heat stress, and it causes severe reductions in productivity. One hundred …

Background Rice grain size (GS) is an essential agronomic trait. Though several genes and
miRNA modules influencing GS are known and seed development transcriptomes analyzed …

The advent of the pangenome era has unraveled previously unknown genetic variation
existing within diverse crop plants, including rice. This untapped genetic variation is …

Abstract Jute (Corchorus sp.), a commercially important and eco-friendly crop, is widely
cultivated in Bangladesh, India, and China. Some varieties of this tropical plant such as the …

As the pioneer of the Green Revolution in China, Guangdong province witnessed the
improvement and spread of semi-dwarf Xian/Indica rice cultivars and possessed diverse rice …

As a temperature-loving crop, rice is sensitive to low temperatures. With the popularization of
direct-seeded rice, cold tolerance (CT) at the bud burst stage has become an important …

Background Weedy rice, a conspecific weedy counterpart of the cultivated rice (Oryza sativa
L.), has been problematic in rice-production area worldwide. Although we started to know …
