Regulation of OsSPL14 by OsmiR156 defines ideal plant architecture in rice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a point mutation in OsSPL14 perturbs OsmiR156-directed regulation of OsSPl14, generating an 'ideal' rice plant with a reduced tiller number, increased lodging resistance and enhanced grain yield.
Journal ArticleDOI

DWARF 53 acts as a repressor of strigolactone signalling in rice

TL;DR: The characterization of a dominant SL-insensitive rice (Oryza sativa) mutant dwarf 53 (d53) and the cloning of D53, which encodes a substrate of the SCFD3 ubiquitination complex and functions as a repressor of SL signalling are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Broad-Spectrum Blast Resistance Gene Pi9 Encodes a Nucleotide-Binding Site–Leucine-Rich Repeat Protein and Is a Member of a Multigene Family in Rice

TL;DR: In this article, the broad-spectrum rice blast resistance gene Pi9 was cloned using a map-based cloning strategy using a 76-kb bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) contig spanning the Pi9 locus, which led to identification of six tandemly arranged resistance-like genes with a nucleotide-binding site (NBS) and leucine-rich repeats (LRRs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Allelic diversities in rice starch biosynthesis lead to a diverse array of rice eating and cooking qualities

TL;DR: It is found that genes related to starch synthesis cooperate with each other to form a fine regulating network that controls the eating and cooking quality and defines the correlation among these three properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

The eight amino-acid differences within three leucine-rich repeats between Pi2 and Piz-t resistance proteins determine the resistance specificity to Magnaporthe grisea.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the single amino acid in the xxLxLxx motif may be critical for maintaining the recognition surface of Pi2 and Piz-t to their respective avirulence proteins.
