TL;DR: OsAAE3 functioned as a negative regulator in rice blast resistance, floret development, and lignin biosynthesis, and it over-expression resulted in increased content of H2O2, leading to programmed cell-death induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS).

TL;DR: The MQTLs found in this study that have small physical and genetic intervals are useful not only for marker-assisted selection and pyramiding, but they also provide important information of rice yield and related gene mining for future research.

TL;DR: Both the anaerobic germination-tolerant recombinant inbred lines and the loci identified in this study will provide new genetic resources for improving theAnaerobic Germination tolerance of rice using molecular breeding strategies, as well as broaden the understanding of the genetic control of germination tolerance under anaerilic conditions.

TL;DR: The results collectively suggest a model that OsBIHD1 is required for Pik-H4-mediated blast resistance through modulating the trade-off between resistance and growth by coordinating brassinosteroid-ethylene pathway.

TL;DR: With the development and utilization of a robust and specific marker, the Pi2 was able to transfer into an elite restorer line through marker-assisted backcrossing, and successfully obtained effective resistance to blast disease, and blast resistance in these stacking lines harbouring three R genes were significantly improved.
