A rice (Oryza sativa L.) mutant with an excessive tiller number, designated ext-M1B, was found in the F2 progenies generated from the cross between M1B and GMS-1 (a genetic male sterile), whose number of tillers was 121. The excessive tillering mutant also resulted in significant changes in plant height, flag leaf, stem, filled grains per panicle, and productive panicles per plant. The inbreeding progenies of ext-M1B exhibited the same mutant phenotype. The crosses from ext-M1B/M1B, M1B/ext-M1B, 2480B/ext-M1B, D62B/ext-M1B, G46B/ext-M1B, and G683B/ext-M1B expressed normal tillering in F1, and segregated into two different phenotypes of normal tillering type and excessive tillering type in a ratio of 3:1 in F2. Inheritance analysis indicated that the excessive tillering character was controlled by a single recessive nucleic gene. By BSA (bulked segregants analysis) and microsatellite makers with the F2 population of 2480B/ext-M1B as the mapping population, RM197, RM584, and RM225, all of which were located on the short arm of rice chromosome 6, were identified to be linked with the excessive tillering gene with genetic distance of 3.8 cM, 5.1 cM, and 5.2 cM, respectively. This gene is probably a new excessive tillering gene in rice and is designated tentatively ext-M1B (t).

Excessive nitrogen promotes the formation of nonproductive tillers in rice, which decreases nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Developing high-NUE rice cultivars through balancing nitrogen uptake and the formation of productive tillers remains a long-standing challenge, yet how these two processes are coordinated in rice remains elusive. Here we identify the transcription factor OsGATA8 as a key coordinator of nitrogen uptake and tiller formation in rice.

Cultivating wheat () in a closed environment offers applications in both indoor farming and in outer-space farming. Tailoring the photoperiod holds potential to shorten the growth cycle, thereby increasing the annual number of cycles. As wheat is a long-day plant, a night shorter than a critical length is required to induce flowering.

Globally, soil acidification is a serious environmental issue that reduces commercial agricultural production. Rice is subjected to nutritional stress due to acidic soil, which is a major impediment to rice production. Since acid soil threatens rice plants with soil compaction, nutrient loss, and plant stress-induced oxidative cell damage that results in affecting the photosynthetic system, restricting the availability of water, and reducing overall plant growth and productivity.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is among the plants that are at risk from cadmium (Cd), a hazardous heavy metal that can be fatal due to its rapid absorption and high mobility. Being taken up from the soil and moving to the shoots and roots of edible plants, it enters the food chain and poses a health concern to people worldwide.

Article Synopsis
- * A two-year field experiment tested different crop establishment methods and nutrient management strategies on rice growth and yield in Uttar Pradesh, revealing that conventionally transplanted rice yielded better results compared to raised wide bed methods, while the latter showed superior water productivity.
- * The optimal fertilizer treatment combining organic and synthetic components outperformed others, significantly improving crop growth and grain yields, demonstrating a viable path towards enhancing agricultural productivity sustainably.
