Revealing genomic variation of representative and diverse germplasm is the cornerstone of deploying genomics information into genetic improvement programs of species of agricultural importance. Here we report the re-sequencing of 239 japonica rice elites representing the genetic diversity of japonica germplasm in China, Japan and Korea. A total of 4.8 million SNPs and PAV of 35,634 genes were identified. The elites from Japan and Korea are closely related and relatively less diverse than those from China. A japonica rice pan-genome was constructed, and 35 Mb non-redundant novel sequences were identified, from which 1131 novel genes were predicted. Strong selection signals of genomic regions were detected on most of the chromosomes. The heading date genes Hd1 and Hd3a have been artificially selected during the breeding process. The results from this study lay the foundation for future whole genome sequences-enabled breeding in rice and provide a paradigm for other species.

Cadmium (Cd) is efficiently transferred from soil to food crops, notably rice. Research indicates that indica rice grains may accumulate more Cd than japonica cultivars; however, differences in Cd bioavailability (the fraction of ingested rice Cd absorbed into the systemic circulation) and toxicity remain unexplored, thus hindering a comprehensive understanding of exposure and health risks. To address this, a mouse bioassay was conducted to evaluate the relative bioavailability (RBA) of Cd in 35 samples each of japonica and indica rice, determining which type exhibits lower Cd bioavailability.

The whiteness of rice grains (WRG) is a key indicator of appearance quality, directly impacting its commercial value. The trait is quantitative, influenced by multiple factors, and no specific genes have been cloned to date. In this study, we first examined the correlation between the whiteness of polished rice, cooked rice, and rice flour, finding that the whiteness of rice flour significantly correlated with both polished and cooked rice.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of nitrogen (N) fertilizer on bacterial community composition and diversity in the rhizosphere and endosphere of rice at different growth stages. Two treatments, N0 (no N application) and N1 (270 kg N ha), were implemented, with samples collected during the jointing, tasseling, and maturity stages. High-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the structure and composition of bacterial communities associated with Huaidao No.

, a rice with an intermediate amylose content, is suitable for (a traditional Spanish dish) due to its ability to withstand cooking and absorb flavors. In this study, high-pressure processing (HPP) at 400 and 600 MPa (10 min) was used as a pretreatment to improve the properties of rice cooked by either boiling or microwaving. The microstructure and pasting properties of unpressurized and pressurized rice were examined.
