A new SNP in cyOsPPDK gene is associated with floury endosperm in Suweon 542
Pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase (PPDK) is a component of glycolysis to mediate endosperm energy charge by adjusting the ratio of ATP to ADP and AMP that proposed to balance the flow of carbon into starch, pro...

Quantitative trait loci for cold tolerance of rice recombinant inbred lines in low temperature environments
Low temperature is one of the major environmental stresses in rice cultivation in high-altitude and high-latitude regions. In this study, we cultivated a set of recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from Dasa...

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 QTLs for seed germination capability after various storage periods using two RIL populations in rice
Seed germination capability of rice is one of the important traits in the production and storage of seeds. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with seed germination capability in various storage periods w...

OsZIP5 is a plasma membrane zinc transporter in rice
Zinc is essential for normal plant growth and development. To understand its transport in rice, we characterized OsZIP5, which is inducible under Zn deficiency. OsZIP5 complemented the growth defect of a yeast Zn...

Zinc deficiency-inducible OsZIP8 encodes a plasma membrane-localized zinc transporter in rice
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for several physiological and biochemical processes. To investigate its transport in rice, we characterized OsZIP8, a rice ZIP (Zrt, Irt-like Protein) gene that is strongly up-r...

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 ...

Comparison of the effects of 40% oxygen and two atmospheric absolute air pressure conditions on stress-induced premature senescence of normal human diploid fibroblasts
The pressure during hyperbaric oxygen treatment may increase oxygen toxicity via an augmented oxygen pressure in the gas. Nevertheless, only a few reports have been published on the effect of cells grown under...

Functional analysis of cotton orthologs of GA signal transduction factors GID1 and SLR1
Gibberellic acid (GA) is both necessary and sufficient to promote fiber elongation in cultured fertilized ovules of the upland cotton variety Coker 312. This is likely due to the temporal and spatial regulatio...

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...

Arabidopsis metallothioneins 2a and 3 enhance resistance to cadmium when expressed in Vicia faba guard cells
The Arabidopsis metallothionein genes AtMT1andAtMT2confer Cd(II) resistance to Cd(II)-sensitive yeast, but it has not been directly shown whether they or other metallothioneins provide the same protection to plan...
