Aroma is a crucial determinant of rice taste quality, with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) playing a key role in defining this characteristic. However, limited research has explored the dynamic changes in these aromatic substances during the ripening stages of rice grains. In this study, we analyzed VOCs in rice grains across four ripening stages post-flowering using headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS).

- The study investigates the genetic factors influencing rice grain shape by analyzing quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to its width, length, and ratio using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population from Yuexiangzhan and Shengbasimiao.
- A comprehensive genetic map with 2412 bins was created, allowing researchers to identify 19 QTLs linked to grain shape attributes across two different environments.
- Among the QTLs discovered, several novel loci were detected that could help improve breeding strategies for rice by enhancing our understanding of the genetic basis for grain shape.
Unlabelled: Heading date is a critical agronomic trait that determines crop yield. Although numerous genes associated with heading date have been identified in rice, the mechanisms involving family have not been elucidated. In this study, the biological function of several genes was initially investigated using the CRISPR- technology in the Japonica cultivar Zhonghua11 (ZH11) background.

Strigolactones (SLs) are newly discovered carotenoid-derived plant hormones that play an important role in rice plant architecture. In this study, a high-tillering dwarf mutant, was identified by spatial mutagenesis.
