TL;DR: A draft sequence of the rice genome for the most widely cultivated subspecies in China, Oryza sativa L. ssp.indica, by whole-genome shotgun sequencing is produced, with a large proportion of rice genes with no recognizable homologs due to a gradient in the GC content of rice coding sequences.

TL;DR: Plant DISR genes the expression of which in a plant increases resistance of the plant to pathogen infection, compositions comprising the genes or encoded polypeptides, and methods for their use, are provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe methods for using polynucleotides and polypeptides, for example, to alter the responsiveness of a plant to abiotic stress.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of genes the expression products of which are upregulated during the grain filling process in rice and active in different metabolic pathways involved in nutrient partitioning are revealed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used promoters from plants capable of driving gene expression in plant cells to facilitate the development of transgenic plants in which tissue preferred expression, constitutive expression, and the strength of transgene expression is either more or less critical.
