CAAS Researchers Reveal a Positive Regulator of Rice Defense Response

January 3rd,2016

Epigenetic control refers to the inheritable regulation of gene transcription without altering the primary DNA sequences. Recently, the emerging role of epigenetic regulation as plant warrior in disease resistance has been widely accepted. Bacterial blight (BB) caused by Xoo (Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae) infection is one of the most devastating diseases for rice production.

Progress Achieved in Phosphoproteomic Analysis in Rice

December 31st,2015

PTM (Post-translational modification) is a key mechanism regulating the biological function of proteins. Among the over 300 types of reported PTMs, phosphorylation is the most abundant and well studied one. It is estimated that over 1/3 of the translated proteins are potential phosphoproteins whose function may involve in plant growth, development, biotic and abiotic stress responses.

Progress on Molecular Mechanism of Grain Yield in Rice

November 17th, 2015

Rice is one of major food staples for mankind. Food security is becoming an ever more serious problem under the pressure from continuous population growth. Therefore, it is urgent to secure grain production. Recently, scientists from China National Rice Research Institute (CNRRI) of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) have acquired progress on genetic mechanism of grain yield in rice.

A Simple CRISPR/Cas9 System was invented for Multiplex Genome Editing in Rice

November 5th, 2015

Generating mutants carrying multiple genetic alterations is essential for genetic pathway research and crop improvement. The conventional process generating multiple mutations is both time-consuming and labor intensive.

CNRRI Scientists Reveal a Dominant QTL to Enhance Rice Grain Size and Grain Yield

September 21st, 2015

Grain size (length, width, and thickness) determines grain weight and affects grain quality. Several major quantitative trait loci (QTLs) regulating grain size have been cloned while our understanding of the underlying mechanism that regulates the size of rice grains remains fragmentary.
