The map-based sequence of the rice genome

Takashi Matsumoto, +265 more
- 11 Aug 2005 - 
TL;DR: A map-based, finished quality sequence that covers 95% of the 389 Mb rice genome, including virtually all of the euchromatin and two complete centromeres, and finds evidence for widespread and recurrent gene transfer from the organelles to the nuclear chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development and Mapping of 2240 New SSR Markers for Rice ( Oryza sativa L.)

TL;DR: A total of 2740 experimentally confirmed SSR markers for rice are made available, or approximately one SSR every 157 kb, with AT-rich microsatellites had the longest average repeat tracts, while GC-rich motifs were the shortest.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hd1, a Major Photoperiod Sensitivity Quantitative Trait Locus in Rice, Is Closely Related to the Arabidopsis Flowering Time Gene CONSTANS

TL;DR: It is suggested that Hd1 functions in the promotion of heading under short- day conditions and in inhibition under long-day conditions and is a homolog of CONSTANS in Arabidopsis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A silicon transporter in rice

TL;DR: The identification of a silicon transporter provides both an insight into the silicon uptake system in plants, and a new strategy for producing crops with high resistance to multiple stresses by genetic modification of the root's silicon uptake capacity.
