Long Noncoding RNA: An Uncharted Territory in Plant Diseases and Immunity

ABSTRACT Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides with little or no protein‐coding capacity. They represent a substantial fraction of eukaryotic genomes and function as molecular architects that coordinate diverse biological processes a...

Integrated QTL-seq and transcriptome analyses identify a DUF1677 candidate gene with a Predicted Kelch β-propeller-like fold associated with iron deficiency response in rice

Abstract Iron deficiency is a major abiotic constraint in rice production, especially in direct-seeded and aerobic cultivation systems, yet the genes controlling tolerance, especially at the seedling stage, remain poorly understood. In this study, we screened 116 rice genotypes u...

Maximizing water and nitrogen productivity in aerobic rice through optimized drip irrigation and nitrogen fertilization

Global water scarcity and nitrogen (N) fertilizer pollution threaten the sustainability of rice production, necessitating a shift towards water and N-efficient cultivation methods. This two-year study aimed to optimize water and N productivity in aerobic rice by assessing four dr...
