AI Article Synopsis
- The aus rice varietal group includes different seasonal ecotypes and is known for its unique stress tolerance, but much about its genetic factors affecting yield is still unclear.
- In this study, researchers analyzed 181 aus accessions using over 399,000 SNP markers to understand their genetic structure and evaluated 11 agronomic traits, identifying specific traits associated with geographic subpopulations.
- Through genome-wide association studies, significant genes like OsSAC1, OsGLT1, and OsPUP4 were linked to various yield and structural traits, providing valuable insights for future rice breeding efforts.
Article Abstract
The aus (Oryza sativa L.) varietal group comprises of aus, boro, ashina and rayada seasonal and/or field ecotypes, and exhibits unique stress tolerance traits, making it valuable for rice breeding. Despite its importance, the agro-morphological diversity and genetic control of yield traits in aus rice remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated the genetic structure of 181 aus accessions using 399,115 SNP markers and evaluated them for 11 morpho-agronomic traits. Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we aimed to identify key loci controlling yield and plant architectural traits.Our population genetic analysis unveiled six subpopulations with strong geographical patterns. Subpopulation-specific differences were observed in most phenotypic traits. Principal component analysis (PCA) of agronomic traits showed that principal component 1 (PC1) was primarily associated with panicle traits, plant height, and heading date, while PC2 and PC3 were linked to primary grain yield traits. GWAS using PC1 identified OsSAC1 on Chromosome 7 as a significant gene influencing multiple agronomic traits. PC2-based GWAS highlighted the importance of OsGLT1 and OsPUP4/ Big Grain 3 in determining grain yield. Haplotype analysis of these genes in the 3,000 Rice Genome Panel revealed distinct genetic variations in aus rice.In summary, this study offers valuable insights into the genetic structure and phenotypic diversity of aus rice accessions. We have identified significant loci associated with essential agronomic traits, with GLT1, PUP4, and SAC1 genes emerging as key players in yield determination.

Article Synopsis
- Intensive rice farming in Bangladesh contributes to rising nitrous oxide (NO) emissions, but the fluctuations in these emissions based on time and location are often overlooked in agricultural policies.
- A study conducted in two regions, Bogura and Cumilla, assessed NO emissions linked to different nitrogen rates and crop residue treatments across various rice seasons (T. Aus, T. Aman, and Boro).
- Results showed that while NO emissions increased with higher nitrogen use, emissions remained similar across seasons, indicating a need for more nuanced estimations and practices to mitigate climate impacts through optimal nitrogen application and crop residue management.

Plant Breeding Division, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, Gazipur 1701, Bangladesh.
This dataset provides an in-depth analysis of rice yield and grain quality attributes in four successive four years across 27 diverse environments in Bangladesh. The analysis emphasizes assessing the performance of studied genotypes (GEN), environments (ENV), and their interrelations (GEI). The research aim is to detect a stable and adaptive rice cultivar that not only displays high yield, and better grain quality but also has molecular data to know favorable alleles and biotic and abiotic stress-related traits.

Article Synopsis
- Early seedling vigour (ESV) is crucial for rice cultivation, particularly in direct-seeded systems, and the aus varietal group shows high ESV.
- A study of 181 aus accessions revealed significant genetic variation in ESV traits, and the vegetative vigour was closely linked to overall plant performance.
- Genome-wide association studies identified 14 significant QTLs associated with ESV, including novel QTLs, and pinpointed candidate genes that may enhance seedling vigour and grain yield in breeding programs.

Two-dimensional carbides and nitrides, known as MXenes, are promising for water-processable coatings due to their excellent electrical, thermal, and optical properties. However, depositing hydrophilic MXene nanosheets onto inert or hydrophobic polymer surfaces requires plasma treatment or chemical modification. This study demonstrates a universal salt-assisted assembly method that produces ultra-thin, uniform MXene coatings with exceptional mechanical stability and washability on various polymers, including high-performance polymers for extreme temperatures.

Soluble oxalate accumulates in rice leaves, and it causes mineral deficiency and urinary syndrome in livestock that consume the leaves. In our previous study, we found that the oxalate content was higher in the leaves of Koshihikari ( type cultivar) than in those of Takanari ( type cultivar). This difference was seen even when the two cultivars were grown under a high CO concentration, which inhibits oxalate synthesis via photorespiration, suggesting that the difference resulted from genetic factors rather than environmental factors.
