Journal ArticleDOI

GW5 acts in the brassinosteroid signalling pathway to regulate grain width and weight in rice

TL;DR: The results suggest that GW5 is a novel positive regulator of BR signalling and a viable target for genetic manipulation to improve grain yield in rice and perhaps in other cereal crops as well.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gene cluster encoding lectin receptor kinases confers broad-spectrum and durable insect resistance in rice.

TL;DR: Molecular cloning and characterization of Bph3 are reported, a locus in rice identified more than 30 years ago that confers resistance to the brown planthopper, and it is suggested that these lectin receptor kinase genes function together to confer broad-spectrum and durable insect resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Days to heading 7, a major quantitative locus determining photoperiod sensitivity and regional adaptation in rice

TL;DR: This study identifies a major quantitative trait locus underlying photoperiod sensitivity in rice (DTH7), and demonstrates that various haplotype combinations of DTH7 with Grain number, plant height, and heading date 7 (Ghd7) and DTH8 correlate well with the flowering time and grain yield of rice varieties under diverse cultivating conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A role for a dioxygenase in auxin metabolism and reproductive development in rice.

TL;DR: It is shown that recombinant DAO converts the active IAA into biologically inactive 2-oxoindole-3-acetic acid (OxIAA) in vitro, and this data support a key role of DAO in auxin catabolism and maintenance of auxin homeostasis central to plant reproductive development.
