Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple food crops in the world, and rice tillering and panicle branching are important traits determining grain yield. Since the gene MONOCULM 1 (MOC 1) was first characterized as a key regulator in controlling rice tillering and branching, great progress has been achieved in identifying important genes associated with grain yield, elucidating the genetic basis of yield-related traits. Some of these important genes were shown to be applicable for molecular breeding of high-yielding rice. This review focuses on recent advances, with emphasis on rice tillering and panicle branching genes, and their regulatory networks.

Reducing the harmful chemical use along with obtaining potential yield in field is a worth exploring practice in rice cultivation. To mitigate the prevailing yield gap, the current study was designed to evaluate the effect of chitosan in improving growth, yield contributing characters and yield of rice. The experiment comprised eight different treatments control (no fertilizer and Chitosan) (T), conventional method (with fertilizers) (T), conventional method with foliar spray of 100 ppm chitosan solution (T), conventional method with foliar spray of 300 ppm chitosan solution (T), conventional method with foliar spray of 500 ppm chitosan solution (T), only foliar spray of 100 ppm chitosan solution (T), only foliar spray of 300 ppm chitosan solution (T), and only foliar spray of 500 ppm chitosan solution (T).

Yield-related traits have higher heritability and lower genotype-by-environment interaction, making them more suitable for genetic studies in comparison with the yield per se. Different populations have been developed and employed in QTL mapping; however, the use of reciprocal SSSLs is limited. In this study, three kinds of bi-parental populations were used to investigate the stable and novel QTLs on six yield-related traits, i.

Rice ( L.) is a crucial crop for employment and agricultural output and heavily reliant on family labor. This study evaluated the effects of nitrogen levels (80, 120, and 160 kg·ha) on weed incidence and key agronomic variables, including vegetative growth, yield, and related traits, in Ecuador's primary rice-growing regions, Guayas and Los Ríos.

Plant two-component system (TCS) is crucial for phytohormone signalling, stress response, and circadian rhythms, yet the precise role of most of the family members in rice remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the function of OsPHP1, a pseudo-histidine phosphotransfer protein in rice, using a functional genomics approach. OsPHP1 is localised in the nucleus and cytosol, and it exhibits strong interactions with all sensory histidine kinase proteins (OsHK1-6) and cytokinin catabolism genes.

Coordination of Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism Through Well-Timed Mid-Stage Nitrogen Compensation in Japonica Super Rice.

The carbon and nitrogen (N) metabolism of rice under different mid-stage N compensation timings is unclear. Two Japonica super rice cultivars were examined under four N compensation timings (N1-N3: N compensation at mid-tillering, panicle initiation, and spikelet differentiation. N0: no N compensation) and CK with no N application.
