Future rice systems must produce more grain while minimizing the negative environmental
impacts. A key question is how to orient agricultural research & development (R&D) programs …

Present and future food security is a critical issue compounded by the consequences of
climate change on agriculture. Stress perception and signal transduction in plants causes …

Rice is semi-aquatic, adapted to a wide range of hydrologies, from aerobic soils in uplands
to anaerobic and flooded fields in waterlogged lowlands, to even deeply submerged soils in …

Green Revolution (GR) rice varieties are high yielding but typically drought sensitive. This is
partly due to the tight linkage between the loci governing plant height and drought tolerance. …

Heterogeneous and multidisciplinary data generated by research on sustainable global
agriculture and agrifood systems requires quality data labeling or annotation in order to be …

Sub-QTLs and multiple intra-QTL genes are hypothesized to underpin large-effect QTLs.
Known QTLs over gene families, biosynthetic pathways or certain traits represent functional …

The water-, energy-, and labor-intensive system of transplanted puddled rice (Oryza sativa) is
steadily being replaced by direct seeding due to the progressive scarcity of these resources…

Integral subcellular and cellular functions ranging from gene expression, protein targeting
and nutrient supply to cell differentiation and cell death require proteases. Plants have unique …

Objective To identify biomarkers associated with progressive phases of MS and with
neuroprotective potential. Methods Combined analysis of the transcriptional and proteomic profiles …

The transfer of DNA into plants has been common practice for over 20 years, and transgenic
plants are now a burgeoning industry. In 2007, over 114 million ha (282.4 million acres) of …
