Hybrid rice has contributed greatly to global food security. Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and photo/ thermo sensitive genic male sterility (P/TGMS) are genetic bases for three-line and two-line hybrid rice production, respectively. In contrast, (sub-) specific hybrid sterility (HS) is a major barrier for utilization of hybrid vigor of distant hybrid rice. Therefore, understanding the molecular regulatory mechanism of rice fertility is a key technical issue for hybrid rice industry, and a long-standing basic scientific issue for nuclear-cytoplasmic interaction and reproductive isolation. Chinese geneticists of plant sciences have made tremendous contributions on the molecular genetic basis of rice fertility related to hybrid rice production. Here, we review the development of hybrid rice production systems in China and summarize current advance on genetic basis and molecular mechanism of CMS, P/TGMS, and HS involved in hybrid rice. We also discuss problems of hybrid rice production in China and point out new direction for future utilization of heterosis in rice.

Thioredoxin z (TRX z) plays a significant role in chloroplast development by regulating the transcription of chloroplast genes. In this study, we identified a pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein, rice albino seedling-lethal (RAS), that interacts with OsTRX z. This interaction was initially discovered by using a yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screening technique and was further validated through Y2H and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) experiments.

Against the backdrop of a changing global climate, the soil environment may undergo significant changes, directly affecting agricultural productivity and exacerbating global food security issues. Three different substrates were set up in this study, namely, S (high sand and low nutrient content), T (medium sand and medium nutrient content), and TT (low sand and high nutrient content). The results showed that the root/shoot ratio increased as the sand content increased (nutrient content decreased).

As the world's population grows, pursuing sustainable agricultural production techniques to increase crop yields is critical to ensuring global food security. The development and application of biological agents is of great significance in promoting the sustainable development of agriculture. This study aimed to investigate the role of JZ (compound microbial agent) and MZ (biological agent made from plant materials) in improving the rhizosphere microecological environment and nutrient availability for rice.

Plant breeding needs to embrace genetic innovations to ensure stability in crop yields under fluctuating climatic conditions. Development of commercial hybrid varieties has proven to be a sustainable and economical alternative to deliver superior yield, quality and resistance with uniformity in a number of food crops. Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), a maternally inherited inability to produce functional pollen, facilitates a three-line system for efficient hybrid seed production strategies in crops.
