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 …

Rice is a staple crop for half the world's population, which is expected to grow by 3 billion
over the next 30 years. It is also a key model for studying the genomics of agroecosystems …

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

Rice (Oryza sativa) is a short‐day (SD) plant originally having strong photoperiod sensitivity
(PS), with SDs promoting and long days (LDs) suppressing flowering. Although the evolution …

The roles of clock components in salt stress tolerance remain incompletely characterized in
rice. Here, we show that, among OsPRR (Oryza sativa Pseudo‐Response Regulator) family …

The brown planthopper (BPH) and white-backed planthopper (WBPH) are the most
destructive insect pests of rice, and they pose serious threats to rice production throughout …

The circadian oscillator is a complex network of interconnected feedback loops that
regulates a wide range of physiological processes. Indeed, variation in clock genes has …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is involved in regulating drought tolerance, and pyrabactin resistance-
like (PYL) proteins are known as ABA receptors. To elucidate the role of one of the ABA …

Success of modern agriculture relies heavily on breeding of crops with maximal regional
adaptability and yield potentials. A major limiting factor for crop cultivation is their flowering …

Flowering time is a critical determinant of the geographic distribution and regional
adaptability of soybean (Glycine max) and is strongly regulated by photoperiod and …
