TL;DR: It is shown that the quantitative trait locus GS5 in rice controls grain size by regulating grain width, filling and weight and functions as a positive regulator of grain size, such that higher expression of GS5 is correlated with larger grain size.

TL;DR: Development of transgenic elite rice lines expressing a Bt fusion gene derived from CryIA(b) and cryIA(c) under the control of rice actinI promoter showed high protection against both insect pests without reduced yield.

TL;DR: It is shown that a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) influences grain chalkiness, which also affects head rice yield and many other quality traits, and that two consensus nucleotide polymorphisms in the Chalk5 promoter in rice varieties might partly account for the differences in Ch chalk5 mRNA levels that contribute to natural variation ingrain chalkiness.

TL;DR: The development of a high-density rice SNP array that had high genotyping accuracy, and could be used for different objectives, and was successfully used for variety verification and trait introgression is reported.

TL;DR: It is shown that the quantitative trait locus (QTL) qPC1 in rice controls GPC by regulating the synthesis and accumulation of glutelins, prolamins, globulins, albumins and starch.
