    Loss of Function of the Cytochrome P450 Gene CYP78B5 Causes Giant Embryos in Rice

    Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important food crops in the world. Most kernel oil and micro-nutrients are located in the embryo whereas starch is mainly in the endosperm. Although embryo size is import...

    Effect of water management on cadmium and arsenic accumulation by rice (Oryza sativa L.) with different metal accumulation capacities

    Water management affects the bioavailability of cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) in the soil and hence their accumulation in rice grains and grain yields. However, Cd and As show opposite responses to soil water ...
