A Rare Allele of GS2 Enhances Grain Size and Grain Yield in Rice
Jiang Hu,Yuexing Wang,Yunxia Fang,Longjun Zeng,Jie Xu,Haiping Yu,Zhenyuan Shi,Jiangjie Pan,Dong Zhang,Shujing Kang,Li Zhu,Guojun Dong,Longbiao Guo,Dali Zeng,Guangheng Zhang,Lihong Xie,Guosheng Xiong,Jiayang Li,Qian Qian +18 more
TL;DR: The cloning and characterization of a dominant QTL, grain size on chromosome 2 (GS2), which encodes Growth-Regulating Factor 4 (OsGRF4), a transcriptional regulator is reported, which could significantly enhance grain weight and increase grain yield in rice cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rational design of high-yield and superior-quality rice
Dali Zeng,Zhixi Tian,Yuchun Rao,Guojun Dong,Yaolong Yang,Lichao Huang,Yujia Leng,Jie Xu,Chuan Sun,Guangheng Zhang,Jiang Hu,Li Zhu,Zhenyu Gao,Xingming Hu,Longbiao Guo,Guosheng Xiong,Yonghong Wang,Jiayang Li,Qian Qian +18 more
TL;DR: The successful development of new elite varieties of elite rice varieties by pyramiding major genes that significantly contribute to grain quality and yield from three parents over five years are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissecting yield-associated loci in super hybrid rice by resequencing recombinant inbred lines and improving parental genome sequences

TL;DR: The large recombinant inbred line population combined with plentiful high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms and insertions/deletions between parental genomes allowed us to fine-map two quantitative trait loci, qSN8 and qSPB1, and to identify days to heading8 and lax panicle1 as candidate genes, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and characterization of NARROW AND ROLLED LEAF 1, a novel gene regulating leaf morphology and plant architecture in rice.
Jiang Hu,Li Zhu,Dali Zeng,Zhenyu Gao,Longbiao Guo,Yunxia Fang,Guangheng Zhang,Guojun Dong,Meixian Yan,Jian Liu,Qian Qian +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that OsCslD4 encoded by NRL1 plays a critical role in leaf morphogenesis and vegetative development in rice.
Journal ArticleDOI
The indica nitrate reductase gene OsNR2 allele enhances rice yield potential and nitrogen use efficiency.
Zhenyu Gao,Yufeng Wang,Guang Chen,Anpeng Zhang,Shenglong Yang,Lianguang Shang,Danying Wang,Banpu Ruan,Chaolei Liu,Hongzhen Jiang,Guojun Dong,Li Zhu,Jiang Hu,Guangheng Zhang,Dali Zeng,Longbiao Guo,Guohua Xu,Sheng Teng,Nicholas P. Harberd,Qian Qian +19 more
TL;DR: Indica rice has higher nitrate assimilation and nitrogen use efficiency than japonica rice, but the mechanism is unclear, and it is revealed that the difference is partly due to allelic variation of a nitrate reductase encoding gene and this indica allele can increase yield potential and NUE.
