Journal ArticleDOI

Can liming reduce cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice (Oryza sativa) in slightly acidic soils? A contradictory dynamic equilibrium between Cd uptake capacity of roots and Cd immobilisation in soils.

TL;DR: Investigation of mechanisms of liming on Cd accumulation in two rice varieties showed that soil availability and exchangeable iron, manganese, zinc and Cd contents decreased with increased liming, and that genes related to Cd uptake were sharply up-regulated in the roots of the two Rice varieties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inorganic arsenic toxicity and alleviation strategies in rice

TL;DR: This review discusses the recent advances in the management of iAs in rice plants emphasizing the use of nanotechnology and biotechnology approaches and the prospects and challenges facing these approaches are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

CRISPR/Cas9 for development of disease resistance in plants: recent progress, limitations and future prospects.

TL;DR: The challenges, limitations and prospects for conventional breeding and the applications of CRISPR/Cas9 system for the development of transgene-free disease-resistant crops are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

OsPK2 encodes a plastidic pyruvate kinase involved in rice endosperm starch synthesis, compound granule formation and grain filling

TL;DR: New insights are denote into the role of OsPK2 in plant seed development, especially in starch synthesis, compound granules formation and grain filling, which would be useful for genetic improvement of high yield and rice grain quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING 2 regulates grain filling and starch synthesis during rice caryopsis development.

TL;DR: Results suggest that GIF2 plays important roles in the regulation of grain filling and starch biosynthesis during caryopsis development, and that it has been preserved during selection throughout domestication of modern rice.
