The next sections outline the step by step process followed to research the impact of mechanized harvesting and mechanized threshing, respectively. 3.1. Measuring losses in harvest At each farm, two plots of 24 m2 were randomly selected, aimed to have the same dimensions and close to each other...
The whole process can be divided into four steps: step 1, selection of an appropriate starting material for de novo domestication; step 2, establishment of desirable technical systems including a reference genome, the functional annotation of genes and, importantly, an efficient transformation and ...
other pigmented rice varieties as superfoods. For example, the overall yield can be improved by targeting genes enhancing yield-related traits, such asGS3,GW2andGn1a, thereby encouraging farmers/investors to cultivate large areas. Also, heavy-metal uptake can be reduced by avoiding cultivation in...
analysis reveals the genes/pathways responsible for genetic plasticity of rice to varying environmental conditions on direct‑sowing and transplanting Suresh Kumar 1*, Karishma Seem1, Santosh Kumar2 & Trilochan Mohapatra3 Rice cultivation by transplanting requires plenty of ...
These analyses reveal that weedy rice has evolved repeatedly from cultivated rice ancestors worldwide, that this process has occurred both early in the history of rice cultivation and very recently, and that despite a high degree of flexibility in the genetic mechanisms by which weediness ...
Boosting African rice yields as outlined in the study can go far in ″meeting the future rice demand of 150 million tons by 2050 without increases in current rice exports while reducing the pressure to convert land for rice cultivation,″ said Shaobing Peng, a professor of agronomy at Huazhong...
Despite weak resistance to blast diseases and lodging susceptibility, Japanese farmers have learned to successfully cultivate Koshihikari by applying their practical skills, leading to widespread adoption of Koshihikari. Japanese manufacturers have also been involved in rice cultivation, processing, and cooking...

China Ministry of Agriculture established a national mega project entitled ‘Breeding and cultivation system of super rice in China’ in 1996. The project encouraged combined use of heterosis and ideal plant type to increase yield, and they set standards for ideal plant type of super rice: erect...
(3° × 3°)18. Hayashida et al.17combined XCH4data from SCIAMACHY with satellite-derived land surface water coverage (LSWC) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to quantify the contributions of rice cultivation to the spatial distribution and seasonality of XCH4over rice paddy ...
