Rational design of high-yield and superior-quality rice

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

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

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

Genetic Dissection of Leaf Senescence in Rice

TL;DR: In this review, the recent achievements in the genetic mechanisms in rice leaf senescence are summarized and cloning and functional characterizations of a few genes are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

The pleiotropic ABNORMAL FLOWER AND DWARF1 affects plant height, floral development and grain yield in rice.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized a rice gene, ABNORMAL FLOWER AND DWARF1 (AFD1) that determined plant height, floral development and grain yield.
