The wild species of the genus Oryza offer enormous potential to make a significant impact on agricultural productivity of the cultivated rice species Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima. To unlock the genetic potential of wild rice we have initiated a project entitled the 'Oryza Map Alignment Project' (OMAP) with the ultimate goal of constructing and aligning BAC/STC based physical maps of 11 wild and one cultivated rice species to the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project's finished reference genome--O. sativa ssp. japonica c. v. Nipponbare. The 11 wild rice species comprise nine different genome types and include six diploid genomes (AA, BB, CC, EE, FF and GG) and four tetrapliod genomes (BBCC, CCDD, HHKK and HHJJ) with broad geographical distribution and ecological adaptation. In this paper we describe our strategy to construct robust physical maps of all 12 rice species with an emphasis on the AA diploid O. nivara--thought to be the progenitor of modern cultivated rice.

Lipid metabolism is critical for male reproduction in plants. Many lipid-metabolic genic male-sterility (GMS) genes function in the anther tapetal endoplasmic reticulum, while little is known about GMS genes involved in de novo fatty acid biosynthesis in the anther tapetal plastid. In this study, we identify a maize male-sterile mutant, enr1, with early tapetal degradation, defective anther cuticle, and pollen exine.

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors mediate pathogen effector-triggered immunity (ETI) in plants, and a subclass of NLRs are hypothesized to function at the plasma membrane (PM). However, how NLR traffic and PM delivery are regulated during immune responses remains largely unknown. The rice NLR PigmR confers broad-spectrum resistance to the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.

Research on the dynamic expression of genes in plants is important for understanding different biological processes. We used the large amounts of transcriptomic data from various plant sample sources that are publicly available to investigate whether the expression levels of a subset of highly variable genes (HVGs) can be used to accurately identify the phenotypes of plants.

As a core element of the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS), the Qingtian paddy field carp (Cyprinus carpio, PF-carp) has been domesticated for over 1200 years in paddy field environments. This species has successfully adapted to shallow-water conditions in paddy fields. To reveal the adaptation mechanism, we conducted transcriptome sequencing on the hepatopancreas of PF-carp under two temperature conditions (28 °C and 38 °C) and concurrently analysed RNA-seq data from hypoxic conditions in the same tissue.
