Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide association study and candidate gene analysis of rice cadmium accumulation in grain in a diverse rice collection
Junliang Zhao,Wu Yang,Shaohong Zhang,Tifeng Yang,Qin Liu,Jingfang Dong,Fu Hua,Xingxue Mao,Bin Liu +8 more
TL;DR: expression analysis of OsNRAMP2, the candidate gene of the novel QTL (qCd3–2) identified in the present study, demonstrated that Os NRAMP2 was mainly induced in the shoots of high Cd accumulation accessions after Cd treatment, and it is speculated that OsNRamp2 could be a novel functional gene associated with CD accumulation in rice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trait associations in the pangenome of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan).
Junliang Zhao,Philipp E. Bayer,Pradeep Ruperao,Pradeep Ruperao,Rachit K. Saxena,Aamir W. Khan,Aamir W. Khan,Agnieszka A. Golicz,Henry T. Nguyen,Jacqueline Batley,David Edwards,Rajeev K. Varshney +11 more
TL;DR: The first pigeon pea pangenome based on 89 accessions mainly from India and the Philippines is presented, showing that there is significant genetic diversity in Philippine individuals that is not present in Indian individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel functional gene associated with cold tolerance at the seedling stage in rice
Junliang Zhao,Shaohong Zhang,Jingfang Dong,Tifeng Yang,Xingxue Mao,Qing Liu,Xiaofei Wang,Bin Liu +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that Os09g0410300 is the functional gene underlying qCTS‐9, a novel gene contributed to enhance cold tolerance at the seedling stage in rice.
Journal ArticleDOI
The germin-like protein OsGLP2-1 enhances resistance to fungal blast and bacterial blight in rice.
Qing Liu,Jianyuan Yang,Shijuan Yan,Shaohong Zhang,Junliang Zhao,Wang Wenjuan,Tifeng Yang,Xiaofei Wang,Xingxue Mao,Jingfang Dong,Xiaoyuan Zhu,Bin Liu +11 more
TL;DR: This is the first report that GLP gene (OsGLP2-1) is involved in panicle blast and bacterial blight resistance in rice and it is reported that one of the rice GLP genes, OsGLP1-1, was significantly induced by blast fungus and functions as a positive regulator to modulate disease resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of QTLs for cold tolerance at seedling stage in rice (Oryza sativa L.) using two distinct methods of cold treatment
Shaohong Zhang,Jingsheng Zheng,Jingsheng Zheng,Bin Liu,Shaobing Peng,Shaobing Peng,Hei Leung,Junliang Zhao,Xiaofei Wang,Tifeng Yang,Zhanghui Huang +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that rice cold tolerance mechanisms at the seedling stage differ between the two environments, but the detection of common QTL implies the existence of overlap in the metabolic pathways for cold tolerance.
