Soil salinization and/or alkalization is a major constraint to crop production worldwide. Approximately 60% of the cultivated land is affected by salt, over half of which is alkalized. Alkaline soils are characterized by high alkalinity and typically high salinity, which creates a complex saline-alkaline (SA) stress that affects plant growth. Rice cultivation has been accepted as an important strategy

ORYZA SATIVA SPOTTED-LEAF 41 (OsSPL41) Negatively Regulates Plant Immunity in Rice Rice Sci. (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2023-08-23 Tan Jingyi, Zhang Xiaobo, Shang Huihui, Li Panpan, Wang Zhonghao, Liao Xinwei, Xu Xia, Yang Shihua, Gong Junyi, Wu Jianli
Identification of immunity-associated leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinases (LRR-RLK) is critical to elucidate the LRR-RLK mediated mechanism of plant immunity. Here, we reported the map-based cloning of a novel rice SPOTTED-LEAF 41 (OsSPL41) encoding a putative LRR-RLK protein (OsLRR-RLK41/OsSPL41) that regulated disease responses to the bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv

LHD3 Encoding a J-Domain Protein Controls Heading Date in Rice Rice Sci. (IF 4.8) Pub Date : 2023-08-23 Liu Qiao, Qiu Linlin, Hua Yangguang, Li Jing, Pang Bo, Zhai Yufeng, Wang Dekai
Heading date is one of the most important agronomic traits of rice, which critically affects rice ecogeographical adaptation, yield and quality. In this study, a late heading date 3 (lhd3) mutant was screened from the 60Co-γ irradiation mutant library. The lhd3 delayed heading date in rice under both short day and long day conditions. Map-based cloning combined with Mutmap strategy was adopted to isolate
