Article Synopsis
- The hybrid rice derived from indica and japonica subspecies has the potential for higher yields compared to the common indica-indica hybrids, but differences in flowering times pose a challenge.
- Researchers identified OsMYB8 as a crucial gene regulating the timing of floret opening in rice, which influences flowering synchronization between the indica and japonica lines.
- The study suggests that modifying the OsMYB8 gene from indica into japonica can enhance floret opening timing, providing a promising strategy for breeding improved indica-japonica hybrid rice.
