There existed a number of biological constraints in exploiting the heterosis of indica-japonica hybrid rice. The low-temperature-sensitive sterility (LTSS) of indica-japonica hybrid has become one of the major problems in indica-japonica hybrid rice breeding after the solution of poor fertility of the hybrids by the finding of wide-compatibility gene. Previous studies revealed that the LTSS might be caused by low-temperature-sensitive pollen sterility (LTSPS). However, the genetic basis of LTSPS remained unclear. To explore the genetic basis of LTSPS in indica-japonica hybrid rice, an F2 genetic population derived from 3037 (indica) and 02428 (japonica) was developed. At the booting stage, pollen fertility of F2 population together with parents were surveyed after the treatment with low temperature daily average of 21-23 degrees C. The linkage map was constructed containing 108 SSR markers distributed throughout the whole 12 chromosomes with average marker interval of 16.26 cM. Using software MapMaker/QTL, two putative QTLs, namely qLTSPS2 and qLTSPS5 on chromosomes 2 and 5 were detected by interval mapping, which could explain the phenotypic variation 15.6% and 11.9% respectively. The additive effects were 0.021 and 0.045, dominant effects were -0.246 and -0.215, and the degrees of dominance were 11.7 and 4.8, respectively for the two QTLs. Therefore, the mode of gene action in response to low-temperature stress was overdominance and LTSPS was mainly the result of interaction between the indica and japonica alleles within each locus. In addition, two-way ANOVA showed that the two QTLs acted essentially independent of each other in conditioning LTSPS.

Sheath blight, caused by AG1 IA, is a challenging disease of rice worldwide. In the current study, nine isolates, within the anastomosis group AG-1 IA, were isolated, characterized based on their macroscopic and microscopic features, as well as their ability to produce cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs), and further molecularly identified via ITS sequencing. Although all isolates were pathogenic and produced typical sheath blight symptoms the susceptible rice cultivar, Sakha 101, AG1 IA -isolate SHBP9 was the most aggressive isolate.

Research indicates that, owing to the enhanced grain-filling rate of tetraploid rice, its yield has notably improved compared to previous levels. Studies conducted on diploid rice have revealed that optimal planting density and fertilization rates play crucial roles in regulating rice yield. In this study, we investigated the effects of different nitrogen application and planting density treatments on the growth, development, yield, and nitrogen utilization in tetraploid (represented by T7, an indica-japonica conventional allotetraploid rice) and diploid rice (Fengliangyou-4, represented by FLY4, a two-line super hybrid rice used as a reference variety for the approval of super rice with a good grain yield performance).

Article Synopsis
- Grain-filling in rice spikelets is crucial for yield and quality, and this study focuses on how ratooning (growing a second crop from stubble) affects this process in two rice varieties: 'Jinhui 809' and 'Yongyou 1540'.
- The results show that the inferior spikelets in ratoon season rice (ISR) benefit from improved grain-filling, reflected in earlier filling, higher seed-setting, and better quality compared to main crop rice (ISL).
- Proteomic analysis revealed significant protein changes linked to improved grain-filling, highlighting the role of metabolic processes and the key protein GF14f, which declined faster in ISR and correlated with enhanced starch synthesis and hormone levels.

Article Synopsis
- The flowering period of rice is crucial for its adaptability and yield, and can be optimized through genome editing techniques like CRISPR/Cas9.
- A new multiplex genome-editing vector targeting five flowering-related genes was developed and introduced into the Jiahe212 rice variety, resulting in mutant plants with varied flowering times.
- Three specific mutant lines flowered earlier without significantly affecting yield, providing valuable resources for future rice breeding efforts aimed at improving adaptability and creating hybrids.

Inter-subspecific indica-japonica hybrid rice (Oryza sativa) has the potential for increased yields over traditional indica intra-subspecies hybrid rice, but limited yield of F hybrid seed production (FHSP) hinders the development of indica-japonica hybrid rice breeding. Diurnal flower-opening time (DFOT) divergence between indica and japonica rice has been a major contributing factor to this issue, but few DFOT genes have been cloned. Here, we found that manipulating the expression of jasmonate (JA) pathway genes can effectively modulate DFOT to improve the yield of FHSP in rice.
