Complete or partial sequences of centromeres and telomeres of a number of rice chromosomes are now publicly available. In this chapter, we summarize the current findings on the DNA content and structure of these special regions. Core regions of rice centromeres consist of the satellite repeat ...
Zhong Y et al (2013) Effect of microwave irradiation on composition, structure and properties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) with different mill- ing degrees. J Cereal Sci 58:228-233Zhong, Y., Tu, Z., Liu, C., Liu, W., Xu, X., Ai, Y., et al. (2013). Effect of microwave ...
the demand for high-quality rice is increasing. Therefore, breeding high quality rice is critical to meet the market demand. However, progress in improving rice grain quality lags far behind that of rice yield. This might be because of the complexity of rice grain quality research, and the la...
Under controlled greenhouse conditions, microbiome composition varied with soil source and genotype. In field conditions, geographical location and cultivation practice, namely organic vs. conventional, were factors contributing to microbiome variation. Rice cultivation is a major source of global methane ...
The water demand rising for rice irrigation claimed the building of barrages. The intervention has changed the original physiognomy incrising the surface area of artificial wetlands and ponds. Month surveys were conduced between May 2005 and August 2007, aiming investigate composition of waterbirds, ...
In rice, resistance to insect infestation is related to the silica-rich husk tissues (palea and lemma) that are held together by two hook-like structures. The structure and composition of the pericarp, seed coat, nucellus, and the seed coat and nucellar cuticles govern, in part, entry of ...

We therefore investigated the TE composition of TADs and found differential TE partitioning between TAD and inter-TAD regions. We found that TADs are overrepresented in CACTA DNA transposons and retrotransposons (Fig. 5b), which have been found to be positively correlated with SNP density (Fig. 4...
Understanding and exploiting genetic diversity is a key factor for the productive and stable production of rice. Here, we utilize 73 high-quality genomes that encompass the subpopulation structure of Asian rice (Oryza sativa), plus the genomes of two wil
ARF proteins were shown to be indirectly involved in transformation of the lipid composition in maize10, and over-expression of ZmARF1 in Arabidopsis resulted in increased leaf and seed size along with enhanced growth rate11. Similarly, over-expression of ZmARF2 in Arabidopsis resulted in cell ...
