Mashup Score: 1The widespread nature of Pack-TYPE transposons reveals their importance for plant genome evolution - 2 year(s) ago
Author summary Transposable Elements (TEs) are genetic DNA sequences able to move across the genome, and their transposition activity is associated with genome plasticity and gene evolution. However, most of these elements exhibit “selfish” behaviour, meaning that they mainly transpose their own DNA sequence and only exceptionally might rearrange the DNA of coding genes. Pack-TYPE TEs, found in…

Mashup Score: 0A secretory phospholipase D hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine to suppress rice heading time - 2 year(s) ago
Author summary Secretory phospholipases play essential roles in physiological processes of mammals, while functions of them in plants remain unknown. We identified a rice secretory PLD (spPLD) harboring a signal peptide which is indispensable for secretion of spPLD. Functional studies showed that altered spPLD expression resulted in the changed heading time of rice under both short-day and…

Mashup Score: 7Opinion: Allow Golden Rice to save lives - 2 year(s) ago
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) has killed millions of children in less-developed countries for at least the last three decades—roughly 2 million annually in the early 1990s alone (1⇓⇓–4). Although the number is declining, it was estimated to be 266,200 (4) at the start of the millennium. Widespread consumption of the genetically modified rice variety known as Golden Rice offers a potent and…

Mashup Score: 0A cluster of Ankyrin and Ankyrin-TPR repeat genes is associated with panicle branching diversity in rice - 3 year(s) ago
Author summary Grain yield is one of the most important indexes in rice breeding, which is controlled in part by panicle branching complexity. A new QTL with co-location of spikelet number (SpN) and secondary branch number (SBN) traits was identified by genome-wide association study in a Vietnamese rice landrace panel. A set of four Ankyrin and Tetratricopeptide repeat domain-encoding genes was…

Mashup Score: 1Gene disruption by structural mutations drives selection in US rice breeding over the last century - 3 year(s) ago
Author summary Some crop varieties have superior performance across years and environments. In hybrids, harmful mutations in one parent are masked by the ancestral alleles in the other parent, resulting in increased vigor. Unfortunately, these mutations are very difficult to identify precisely because, individually, they only have a small effect. In this study, we use long-read sequencing to…

Mashup Score: 5A route to de novo domestication of wild allotetraploid rice - 3 year(s) ago
Li and colleagues developed a breeding route to de novo domestication of wild allotetraploid rice that provides a rational strategy for creating novel crops and generated a series of allotetraploid rice lines edited in domestication-related and agronomically important genes.
