Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait that does not allow the germination of an intact viable
seed under favorable environmental conditions. Non-dormant seeds or seeds with low level …

Gibberellins (GAs) are a class of tetracyclic diterpenoid phytohormones that regulate many
aspects of plant development, including seed germination, stem elongation, leaf expansion …

Unraveling the regulatory mechanisms that govern complex traits is pivotal for advancing
crop improvement. Here we present a comprehensive regulome atlas for rice (Oryza sativa) …

Pre-harvest sprouting is a critical phenomenon involving the germination of seeds in the
mother plant before harvest under relative humid conditions and reduced dormancy. As it …

Seed germination is a critical stage during the life cycle of plants. It is well known that
germination is regulated by a series of internal and external factors, especially plant …

Seed germination is a complex process involving various physical and biochemical cues,
determined by exogenous and endogenous factors. Here, we identified a gene, OsMFT2 …

Transposable elements (TEs) are an important source of genome variability. Here, we
analyze their contribution to gene expression variability in rice by performing a TE insertion …

Domestic rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important cereal crops, feeding a large
number of worldwide populations. Along with various high-throughput genome sequencing …

Global food security is a challenge, especially under changing climatic conditions. Recent
advances in plant technology using plant-microbiome interactions promise an increased …

Seed vigor is a complex trait, including the seed germination, seedling emergence, and
growth, as well as seed storability and stress tolerance, which is important for direct seeding …
