The Green Revolution of the 1960s improved crop yields in part through the widespread
cultivation of semidwarf plant varieties, which resist lodging but require a high-nitrogen (N) …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

Crop genetic improvement requires balancing complex tradeoffs caused by gene pleiotropy
and linkage drags, as exemplified by IPA1 (Ideal Plant Architecture 1), a typical pleiotropic …

Promoter editing represents an innovative approach to introduce quantitative trait variation
(QTV) in crops. However, an efficient promoter editing system for QTV needs to be …

Modern green revolution varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) confer semi-dwarf and
lodging-resistant plant architecture owing to the Reduced height-B1b (Rht-B1b) and Rht …

Structural variations (SVs) and gene copy number variations (gCNVs) have contributed to
crop evolution, domestication, and improvement. Here, we assembled 31 high-quality …

Cultivated rice varieties are all diploid, and polyploidization of rice has long been desired
because of its advantages in genome buffering, vigorousness, and environmental …

Here we analyse genetic variation, population structure and diversity among 3,010 diverse
Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomes from the 3,000 Rice Genomes Project. Our …

INTRODUCTION The green revolution of the 1960s boosted cereal crop yields in part
through widespread adoption of semi-dwarf plant varieties. The beneficial semi-dwarfism is …

Enhancing global food security by increasing the productivity of green revolution varieties of
cereals risks increasing the collateral environmental damage produced by inorganic …
