Authors: A.C. Silva J�?ºnior, V.Q. Carneiro, I.G. Santos, W.G Costa, R.D.S. Rosado, C.D. Cruz and P.C. Soares
The estimation of the genotypic replacement rate is aimed at evaluating the performance of breeding programs. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of the genetic improvement program of flooded rice, developed in Minas Gerais, during the period from 1993 to 2016. We evaluated 210 lines in three environments between 1993 and 2016, .. Read More»

Marker-Assisted elimination of drought-susceptible accessions in upland rice breeding
Authors: Ariadna Faria Vieira, Gabriel Feresin Pantali�?£o, Fernanda Martins Abreu, Ricardo Dias Silveira, Ana Letycia Basso Garcia, Leandro Gomide Neves, Rosana Pereira Vianello, Adriano Pereira Castro, Claudio Brondani
Breeding for water-deficit tolerance is fundamental to guarantee the sustainability of upland rice production, mainly due to the possibility of an increased frequency of drought episodes due to climate change. This work aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, derived from RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), genom.. Read More»

Selection of candidate reference genes and validation for real-time PCR studies in rice plants exposed to low temperatures
Authors: P.A. Auler, L.C. Benitez, M.N. do Amaral, I.L. Vighi, G.S. Rodrigues, L.C. da Maia and E.J.B. Braga
Rice is a cereal that presents a great ability to adapt to different soil and climate conditions. However, as it is a tropical crop with C3 metabolism, it performs better in warm temperatures with high solar radiation. Tolerance to stress caused by low temperatures is a highly complex process that involves various metabolic pa.. Read More»

Development of 1047 insertion-deletion markers for rice genetic studies and breeding
Authors: Y.X. Zeng*, Z.H. Wen*, L.Y. Ma, Z.J. Ji, X.M. Li and C.D. Yang
In this study, a total of 1047 insertion-deletion (InDel) primer pairs distributed across the rice genome were developed and experimentally validated. The primer pairs were designed based on the InDel length polymorphisms between 93-11 (Oryza sativa ssp indica cv.) and Nipponbare (Oryza sativa ssp japonica cv.), aiming for utilization between indica and j..

Roles of the bZIP gene family in rice
Authors: Z.G. E, Y.P. Zhang, J.H. Zhou and L. Wang
The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) genes encode transcription factors involved in the regulation of various biological processes. Similar to WRKY, basic helix-loop-helix, and several other groups of proteins, the bZIP proteins form a superfamily of transcription factors that mediate plant stress responses. In this review, we pres.. Read More»

Cloning and characterization of the drought-resistance OsRCI2-5 gene in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: L. Li1, N. Li, S.F. Song, Y.X. Li, X.J. Xia, X.Q. Fu, G.H. Chen and H.F. Deng
The genomic expression profile of the super-hybrid rice Liangyoupeijiu female parent Pei’ai 64S in different tissues at different developmental stages under low temperature, drought, and high temperature stresses were detected using an Affymetrix GeneChip Rice Genome Array to screen upregulated and downregulated genes. I.. Read More»

Genome-wide multilocus analysis of intraspecific differentiation in Oryza rufipogon Griff. from China and the influence of introgression from O. sativa L.
Authors: Y.B. Dong, F. Li, X.W. Pei, F. Wang, Q.H. Yuan, H.J. Wu, S.R. Jia, Y.F. Peng
Twenty-five populations of Oryza rufipogon from China and 144 cultivars of Oryza sativa were selected for this study. Based on the DNA fragment of Ehd1-4 and subspecies-specific sequence-tagged site markers in different chromosomes, intraspecific differentiation in O. rufipogon from China was analyzed. The introgression from O.. Read More»

Characterization of a rice germin-like protein gene promoter
Authors: T. Mahmood T. Yasmin M.I. Haque S.M.S. Naqvi
Germin and germin-like proteins (GLPs) are water-soluble extracellular proteins that are expressed in response to specific environmental and developmental signals. Although some enzymatic activities have also been associated with germin/GLPs, their role in overall metabolism is not fully understood. However, insight into their function may be gained by an..

Genetic improvement is the fundamental basis for improving nitrogen-use efficiency. A better understanding of genetic factors controlling nitrogen uptake and utilization is required for crop genetic improvement. In this study, we identified the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with traits of nitrogen uptake and utilization by using the single-seq.. Read More»
