Article Synopsis
  • The research focuses on improving callus induction efficiency in Oryza sativa sub. indica hybrids to produce doubled haploids, which are more effective than traditional hybrids.
  • The study investigates the role of histone deacetylase (HDA) genes during various stages of callus formation, identifying HDA19, HDA6, and HDA15 as key players influenced by specific inhibitors.
  • The findings suggest that molecular editing of HDA genes can enhance regeneration efficiency and combat the challenges presented by recalcitrant Indica cultivars, ultimately leading to improved crop yields.

Low light intensity is a great limitation for grain yield and quality in rice. However, yield is not significantly reduced in low light tolerant rice varieties. The work therefore planned for comparative transcriptome profiling under low light stress to decipher the genes involved and molecular mechanism of low light tolerance in rice.
