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 …

Producing sufficient food with finite resources to feed the growing global population while
having a smaller impact on the environment has always been a great challenge. Here, we …

Drought and heat are major abiotic stresses frequently coinciding to threaten rice
production. Despite hundreds of stress-related genes being identified, only a few have been …

Recently developed CRISPR-mediated base editors, which enable the generation of
numerous nucleotide changes in target genomic regions, have been widely adopted for …

Cellular pH homeostasis is fundamental for life, and all cells adapt to maintain this balance.
In plants, the chemical form of nitrogen supply, nitrate and ammonium, is one of the cellular …

Decoration of phytochemicals contributes to the majority of metabolic diversity in nature,
whereas how this process alters the biological functions of their precursor molecules …

We describe updates to the Rice SNP-Seek Database since its first release. We ran a new
SNP-calling pipeline followed by filtering that resulted in complete, base, filtered and core …

With global warming and climate change, breeding crop plants tolerant to high-temperature
stress is of immense significance. tRNA 2-thiolation is a highly conserved form of tRNA …

Grain essential amino acid (EAA) levels contribute to rice nutritional quality. However, the
molecular mechanisms underlying EAA accumulation and natural variation in rice grains …

The plant metabolome is characterized by extensive diversity and is often regarded as a
bridge between genome and phenome. Here we report metabolic and phenotypic genome …
