Seed storability is a main agronomically important trait to assure storage safety of grain and seeds in rice. Although many quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and associated genes for rice seed storability have been identified, the detailed genetic mechanisms of seed storability remain unclear in rice. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed in 456 diverse rice core collections from the 3K rice genome. We discovered the new nine QTLs designated as , , , , , , , , and . According to the analysis of the new nine QTLs, our results could well explain the reason why seed storability of subspecies was superior to subspecies in rice. Among them, and were potentially co-localized with a known associated / and , respectively. Our results also suggest that pyramiding breeding of superior alleles of these associated genes will lead to new varieties with improved seed storability in the future.

The sesame seed contains oil, protein, dietary fibre, and several minerals and it is also a store of lignans. Lignans are key selection factors for sesame quality due to their health, nutritive and market value. In Ghana sesame growers rely on wild or undocumented planting seeds which are of mixed colouration and its lignan content is ambiguous.

Seed vigor is an important trait closely related to improved seed quality and long-term germplasm conservation, and it gradually decreases during storage, which has become a major concern for agriculture. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms of seed vigor loss in terms of genes remain largely unknown in quinoa. Here, two cultivars of quinoa seeds with different storage performance, Longli No.

Article Synopsis
- Research on rice (Oryza sativa) shows that knocking out the lipoxygenase gene 1 with CRISPR/Cas9 helps maintain seed viability and quality during storage by slowing down the aging process.
- Transcriptome analysis indicates that this gene knockout affects multiple metabolic pathways related to lipid metabolism and antioxidants, promoting better seed storability through regulation of various genes.
- The findings suggest that this genetic modification could be beneficial for agricultural practices, as it enhances seed longevity without significantly altering other important agricultural traits.

The storability of rice seeds is crucial for ensuring flexible planting options, agricultural seed security, and global food safety. With the intensification of global climate change and the constant fluctuations in agricultural production conditions, enhancing the storability of rice seeds has become particularly important. Seed storability is a complex quantitative trait regulated by both genetic and environmental factors.
