The major QTL-qSB-9(Tq) conferring partial resistance to rice (Oryza sativa L.) sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani Kühn) has been verified on chromosome 9 of the indica rice cultivar, Teqing. In this study, the prospect of this QTL utilized in molecular breeding program of japonica rice for sheath blight resistance was investigated. Most of the japonica rice cultivars showed lower level of sheath blight resistance than the indica rice cultivars. At the corresponding site of qSB-9(Tq), nine typical japonica rice cultivars from different ecological regions or countries proved to possess the susceptible allele(s). Introgression of qSB-9(Tq) into these cultivars enhanced their resistance level by decreasing sheath blight score of 1.0 (0.5-1.3), which indicated that qSB-9(Tq) had a large potential in strengthening the resistance of japonica rice to sheath blight. The use of the three molecular markers, which were polymorphic between Teqing and many japonica rice cultivars, promotes the application of qSB-9(Tq) in a concrete molecular breeding program.

Rice, a staple food consumed by half of the world's population, is severely affected by the combined impact of abiotic and biotic stresses, with the former causing increased susceptibility of the plant to pathogens. Four microarray datasets for drought, salinity, tungro virus, and blast pathogen were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. A modular gene co-expression (mGCE) analysis was conducted, followed by gene set enrichment analysis to evaluate the upregulation of module activity across different stress conditions.

High temperature significantly impacts grain appearance quality, yet few studies have focused on identifying new quantitative trait loci (QTLs)/genes related to these traits under heat stress during the flowering stage in rice. In this study, a natural population of 525 rice accessions was used to identify QTLs and candidate genes associated with grain appearance quality using a Genome-Wide Association Study under heat stress. We identified 25 QTLs associated with grain length (GL), grain width (GW), and grain chalkiness (GC) under heat stress across 10 chromosomes in the three rice populations (full, indica, and japonica).

Anagenesis accumulates favorable mutations that enable crops to adapt to continually improving artificial production environments, while cladogenesis results in the deposition of beneficial variations across diverse ecotypes. Integrating advantageous genetic variations from diverse evolutionary sources establishes the foundation for the continued genetic improvement of crops. For a long time, rice breeding practices have been guided by the established belief that the Asian cultivated rice consists of two subspecies: subsp.

The primary goals of crop breeding are to enhance yield and improve disease resistance. However, the "trade-off" mechanism, in which signalling pathways for resistance and yield are antagonistically regulated, poses challenges for achieving both simultaneously. Previously, we demonstrated that knock-out mutants of the Dense and Erect Panicle 1 (DEP1) gene can significantly enhance rice resistance to sheath blight (ShB), and we mapped DEP1's association with panicle length.

The rice genome underpins fundamental research and breeding, but the Nipponbare (japonica) reference does not fully encompass the genetic diversity of Asian rice. To address this gap, the Rice Population Reference Panel (RPRP) was developed, comprising high-quality assemblies of 16 rice cultivars to represent , , , and varietal groups. The RPRP has been consistently annotated, supported by extensive experimental data and here we report the computational assignment, characterization and dissemination of stably identified pan-genes.
