Study Reveals How the Clock Component OsLUX Regulates Rice ...

Critical as is for optimal reproductive growth and yield in cereals, flowering time (heading date) is controlled by a sophisticated genetic network. Among the network components, the circadian oscillator genes play vital roles in coordinating internal physiology and external environmental factors to regulate flowering.

Recently, Crop Precision Breeding Technology Innovation Team of the Institute of Crop Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (ICS-CAAS) has successfully developed efficient surrogate prime editors PE3-HS, PE3-AS, and PE3-DS, realizing multiplex precision gene editing in rice for the first time.

Scientists Further Unravelled the Underlying Mechanism of He...

Rice heading date (flowering time) marks the floral transition from the vegetative stage to the reproductive stage in rice. It is a vital agronomic trait that influences rice reproduction and an important target trait in breeding. Heading date control in rice is very complicated, involving both genetic factors and exogenous factors, such as photoperiod and temperature.

Novel Molecular Mechanism of Rice Seed Germination and Salt ...

Recently, the research group of Prof. Huang Rongfeng from Biotechnology Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (BRI, CAAS) has dissected the role of an APETALA2-type transcription factor, SALT AND ABA RESPONSE ERF1 (OsSAE1), as a positive regulator of seed germination and salt tolerance in rice, which provides avenues to improve seed vigor and seedling tolerance via molecular breeding.
