Natural variation at the DEP1 locus enhances grain yield in rice
Xianzhong Huang,Qian Qian,Zhengbin Liu,Hongying Sun,Shuyuan He,Da Luo,Guangmin Xia,Chengcai Chu,Jiayang Li,Xiangdong Fu +9 more
TL;DR: The molecular characterization of a major rice grain yield QTL that acts through the determination of panicle architecture is reported and it is shown that a functionally equivalent allele is present in the temperate cereals and seems to have arisen before the divergence of the wheat and barley lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI
NRT1.1B is associated with root microbiota composition and nitrogen use in field-grown rice
Jingying Zhang,Yong-Xin Liu,Na Zhang,Bin Hu,Tao Jin,Haoran Xu,Yuan Qin,Pengxu Yan,Xiaoning Zhang,Xiaoxuan Guo,Jing Hui,Shouyun Cao,Xin Wang,Chao Wang,Hui Wang,Baoyuan Qu,Guangyi Fan,Lixing Yuan,Ruben Garrido-Oter,Chengcai Chu,Yang Bai +20 more
TL;DR: The links between plant genotype and root microbiota membership established in this study will inform breeding strategies to improve nitrogen use in crops and coordinate recruitment of the root microbiota to optimize nitrogen acquisition from soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in NRT1.1B contributes to nitrate-use divergence between rice subspecies
Bin Hu,Wei Wang,Shujun Ou,Jiuyou Tang,Hua Li,Ronghui Che,Zhihua Zhang,Xuyang Chai,Hongru Wang,Yiqin Wang,Chengzhen Liang,Linchuan Liu,Zhongze Piao,Qiyun Deng,Kun Deng,Chi Xu,Yan Liang,Lianhe Zhang,Legong Li,Chengcai Chu +19 more
TL;DR: Variation in a nitrate-transporter gene, NRT1.1B (OsNPF6.5), may contribute to this divergence in nitrate use between indica and japonica and can potentially improve the nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) ofJaponica.
Journal ArticleDOI
OsNAP connects abscisic acid and leaf senescence by fine-tuning abscisic acid biosynthesis and directly targeting senescence-associated genes in rice.
Chengzhen Liang,Yiqin Wang,Yana Zhu,Jiuyou Tang,Bin Hu,Linchuan Liu,Shujun Ou,Hongkai Wu,Xiaohong Sun,Jinfang Chu,Chengcai Chu +10 more
TL;DR: This study identified and characterized a dominant premature leaf senescence mutant, prematurely senile 1 (ps1-D), and demonstrated that OsNAP is an ideal marker of naturalsenescence onset in rice and that it functions as an important link between ABA and leafSenescence in rice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of a rice OsDREB1F gene increases salt, drought, and low temperature tolerance in both Arabidopsis and rice.
TL;DR: A novel rice DREB transcription factor, OsDREB1F, was cloned and characterised via subtractive suppression hybridisation (SSH) from upland rice and revealed that it was induced by salt, drought, cold stresses, and also ABA application, but not by pathogen, wound, and H2O2.
