RNA-Seq Analysis Reveals Transcriptomic and Alternative-Splicing Changes Associated with OsPHD1-Mediated Lesion Mimicry in Rice

Lesion-mimic mutants provide tractable systems for linking metabolic disruption to cell death and immunity in plants. OsPHD1 encodes a plastidial UDP-glucose/UDP-galactose 4-epimerase, and its disruption causes a lesion-mimic phenotype in the rice mutant lm212. Here, we compared...

Rice yield responses to high temperature and agronomic adaptation options: A meta-analysis and regional evaluation of sowing-date adjustment

High-temperature (HT) stress threatens global rice production, yet the comparative efficacy and synergistic potential of agronomic adaptation strategies remain poorly quantified. Here, we integrated 4044 observations from 106 publications across 11 countries, evaluating the indiv...

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Li, Yang, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-xin (2020): The genus Indabracon van Achterberg (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Braconinae) in China, with description of four new species. Journal of Hymenoptera...

Natural variation in SL6 determines fatty acid components and seed longevity in rice

Seed longevity (SL) is vital for ensuring food security worldwide. However, the genetic basis of SL has been scarcely documented. Here, we report the cloning of a major SL locus, qSL6 , encoding a fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase type B. SL6 is functionally conserved in regulating pal...
