Genomic architecture of heterosis for yield traits in rice

October 31st, 2016

Increasing grain yield is a long-term goal in crop breeding to meet the demand for global food security. Heterosis, when a hybrid shows higher performance for a trait than both parents, offers an important strategy for crop breeding.

Progress on editing rice yield-related QTLs in different rice varieties

Oct 20th, 2016

Grain yield is the most important and complex trait for genetic improvement in crops; it is known to be controlled by a number of genes known as quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In the past decade, many yield-contributing QTLs have been identified in crops.

Progress on Replication Mechanism of DNA Polymerase in Insect Baculovirus

May 26th,2016

DNA polymerase (DNApol) is highly conserved in all baculoviruses and plays an essential role in viral DNA replication. It determines the fidelity of baculovirus DNA replication by inserting the correct nucleotides into the primer terminus and proofreading any mispaired nucleotides.

Progress on Molecular Mechanism of Leaf Senescence via NAD pathway in Rice

April 18th,2016

Premature leaf senescence affects plant growth and yield in rice. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) plays critical roles in cellular redox reactions and remains at a sufficient level in the cell to prevent cell death.

Range of CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing is Expanded in Rice

March 29th,2016

The CRISPR/Cas9 system has emerged as a versatile molecular tool for genome editing in various organisms, including plants. In this system, the specificity of Cas9-directed DNA cleavage strictly requires the presence of a chimeric single guide RNA (sgRNA) and a short trinucleotide proto spacer adjacent motif (PAM) in the genome.
