TL;DR: The successful development of new elite varieties of elite rice varieties by pyramiding major genes that significantly contribute to grain quality and yield from three parents over five years are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
PGL, encoding chlorophyllide a oxygenase 1, impacts leaf senescence and indirectly affects grain yield and quality in rice
Yaolong Yang,Jie Xu,Lichao Huang,Yujia Leng,Liping Dai,Yuchun Rao,Long Chen,Yuqiong Wang,Zhengjun Tu,Jiang Hu,Deyong Ren,Guangheng Zhang,Li Zhu,Longbiao Guo,Qian Qian,Dali Zeng +15 more
TL;DR: PGL encodes CAO1 in rice, which is essential for Chl b synthesis and affects Chl synthesis and degradation and also impacts leaf senescence and indirectly affects grain yield and quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Rice PECTATE LYASE-LIKE Gene Is Required for Plant Growth and Leaf Senescence
Yujia Leng,Yaolong Yang,Deyong Ren,Lichao Huang,Liping Dai,Yuqiong Wang,Long Chen,Zhengjun Tu,Yihong Gao,Xueyong Li,Li Zhu,Jiang Hu,Guangheng Zhang,Zhenyu Gao,Longbiao Guo,Zhaosheng Kong,Yongjun Lin,Qian Qian,Dali Zeng +18 more
TL;DR: The research indicates that DEL1 is involved in both the maintenance of normal cell division and the induction of leaf senescence, revealing a new molecular mechanism for plant growth and leafsenescence mediated by PECTATE LYASE-LIKE genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
