Abiotic stresses adversely affect rice yield and productivity, especially under the changing
climatic scenario. Exposure to multiple abiotic stresses acting together aggravates these …

Flooding or submergence is one of the major environmental stressors affecting many man-
made and natural ecosystems worldwide. The increase in the frequency and duration of …

Submergence stress represents a major obstacle limiting the application of direct seeding in
rice cultivation. Under flooding conditions, coleoptile elongation can function as an escape …

Key message CRISPR-edited variants at the 3′-end of OsLOGL5's coding sequence
(CDS), significantly increased rice grain yield under well-watered, drought, normal nitrogen …

Flooding of rice fields is a serious problem in the river basins of South and South-East Asia
where about 15 Mha of lowland rice cultivation is regularly affected. Flooding creates …

Seed vigour is an imperative trait for the direct seeding of rice. Isopropylmalate synthase
(IPMS) catalyses the committed step of leucine (Leu) biosynthesis, but its effect on seed …

Summary LONELY GUY (LOG) was first identified in a screen of rice mutants with defects in
meristem maintenance. In plants, LOG codes for cytokinin riboside 5′‐monophosphate …

The mechanism underlying the ability of rice to germinate underwater is a largely enigmatic
but key research question highly relevant to rice cultivation. Moreover, although rice is …

The success of rice (Oryza sativa L.) germination and survival under submerged conditions
is mainly determined by the rapid growth of the coleoptile to reach the water surface …

Acireductone dioxygenase (ARD) is a metal-binding metalloenzyme and involved in the
methionine salvage pathway. In rice, OsARD1 binds Fe2+ and catalyzes the formation of 2 …
