Genome-wide dissection of segregation distortion using multiple inter-subspecific crosses in rice
Mendelian inheritance can ensure equal segregation of alleles from parents to offspring, which provides fundamental basis for genetics and molecular biology. Segregation distortion (SD) leads to preferential t...

Duplication of an upstream silencer of FZP increases grain yield in rice
Transcriptional silencer and copy number variants (CNVs) are associated with gene expression. However, their roles in generating phenotypes have not been well studied. Here we identified a rice quantitative tr...

Genomewide association analysis for awn length linked to the seed shattering gene qSH1 in rice
Awn is one of the most important domesticated traits in rice (Oryza sativa). Understanding the genetic basis of awn length is important for grain harvest and production, because long awn length is disadvantageous...

Mammalian elongation factor 4 regulates mitochondrial translation essential for spermatogenesis
Genetic ablation of EF4 in mice leads to male sterility due to mitochondrial translation defects, which can be compensated for in somatic tissues by mTOR-mediated upregulation of cytoplasmic translation.

Open AccessGenetic dissection of rice grain shape using a recombinant inbred line population derived from two contrasting parents and fine map** a pleiotropic quantitative trait locus qGL7
The three-dimensional shape of grain, measured as grain length, width, and thickness (GL, GW, and GT), is one of the most important components of grain appearance in rice. Determining the genetic basis of vari...

Glycine origin of the methyl substituent on C7′-N of octodiose for the biosynthesis of apramycin
Apramycin is unique in the aminoglycoside family due to its octodiose moiety. However, either the biosynthesis process or the precursors involved are largely unknown. Addition of glycine, as well as serine or ...
