The serine proteinase inhibitor OsSerpin is a potent tillering regulator in rice
Tillering in rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important agronomic trait that enhances grain production. A tiller is a specialized grain-bearing branch that is formed on a non-elongated basal internode that grows inde...

Fine map** and candidate gene analysis of hwh1 and hwh2, a set of complementary genes controlling hybrid breakdown in rice
Hybrid breakdown (HB), a phenomenon of reduced viability or fertility accompanied with retarded growth in hybrid progenies, often arises in the offspring of intersubspecific hybrids between indica and japonica in...

Development of SNP-based CAPS and dCAPS markers in eight different genes involved in starch biosynthesis in rice
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which are inexhaustible, highly stable, and simply detectable sequence polymorphisms, can lead to phenotypic variations by affecting protein composition changes. Here, w...

Molecular characterization and physico-chemical analysis of a new giant embryo mutant allele (ge t) in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
The rice embryo is rich in lipid and protein bodies, bioactive chemicals such as dietary fiber, phytic acids, vitamin B and E, and gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) than the endosperm. In this paper, we report a ...

Map-based cloning of the ERECT PANICLE 3 gene in rice
Panicle architecture in rice can have a strong influence on yield. Using N-methyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis, we isolated an erect panicle mutant, Hep, from Hwasunchalbyeo, a glutinous japonica rice cultivar. Gene...

High-resolution map** of two rice brown planthopper resistance genes, Bph20(t) and Bph21(t), originating from Oryza minuta
Brown planthopper (BPH) is one of the most destructive insect pests of rice. Wild species of rice are a valuable source of resistance genes for develo** resistant cultivars. A molecular marker-based genetic ...

Fine map** and candidate gene analysis of the floury endosperm gene, FLO(a), in rice
In addition to its role as an energy source for plants, animals and humans, starch is also an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. In rice, the eating and cooking quality of the grain is deter...

Identification of QTLs for hybrid fertility in inter-subspecific crosses of rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Two subspecies in rice, japonica and indica, have their own ecotypic traits. However, reproductive barriers such as spikelet sterility in hybrid progenies between subspecies have been an obstacle in breeding prog...

Fine map** and candidate gene analysis of dense and erect panicle 3, DEP3, which confers high grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Architecture of the rice inflorescence, which is determined mainly by the morphology, number and length of primary and secondary inflorescence branches, is an important agronomical trait. In the current study,...

Identification of quantitative trait loci associated with rice eating quality traits using a population of recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between two temperate japonica cultivars
Improved eating quality is a major breeding target in japonica rice due to market demand. In this study, we performed genetic analysis to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that control rice eating quality t...

The rice bright green leaf (bgl) locus encodes OsRopGEF10, which activates the development of small cuticular papillae on leaf surfaces
Development of specialized epidermal cells and structures plays a key role in plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In the paddy field, the bright green leaf (bgl) mutants of rice (Oryza sativa) exhibit...

Leaf variegation in the rice zebra2 mutant is caused by photoperiodic accumulation of tetra-Cis-lycopene and singlet oxygen
In field conditions, the zebra2 (z2) mutant in rice (Oryza sativa) produces leaves with transverse pale-green/yellow stripes. It was recently reported that ZEBRA2 encodes carotenoid isomerase (CRTISO) and that lo...
