Common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon), the relative of Asian cultivated sativa), flaunts long, barbed awns, which are necessary for efficient propagation and dissemination seeds. By contrast, O. sativa cultivars have been selected to be awnless or harbor short, barbless facilitate seed processing storage. The transition from awns was a crucial event in domestication. Here, we show that presence is controlled by major gene on chromosome 4, LONG AND BARBED AWN1 (LABA1), encodes...

Nitrogen (N) is an important nutrient for crop growth. However, the overuse of N fertilizers has led to a series devastating global environmental issues. Recent studies show that multiple datasets have been created agricultural fertilizer application with varied temporal or spatial resolutions, nevertheless, how synchronize and use these becomes problematic due inconsistent coverages, crop-specific allocations. Here we reconstructed comprehensive dataset fertilization at 5-arc-min resolution...

Abstract Inflorescence architecture is a key agronomical factor determining grain yield, and thus has been major target of cereal crop domestication. Transition from spread panicle typical ancestral wild rice ( Oryza rufipogon Griff.) to the compact present cultivars O. sativa L.) was crucial event in Here we show that controlled by dominant gene, Os LG1, previously reported SBP-domain transcription controls ligule development. Association analysis indicates single-nucleotide polymorphism-6...

Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) was domesticated from wild rufipogon), which typically displays fewer grains per panicle and longer than cultivated rice. In addition, has long awns, whereas short awns or lacks them altogether. These changes represent critical events in domestication. Here, we identified a major gene, GRAIN NUMBER, LENGTH AND AWN DEVELOPMENT1 (GAD1), that regulates those during GAD1 is located on chromosome 8 predicted to encode small secretary signal peptide belonging the...

During rice domestication and improvement, increasing grain yield to meet human needs was the primary objective. Rice is a quantitative trait determined by multiple genes, but molecular basis for increased still unclear. Here, we show that NUMBER OF GRAINS 1 (NOG1), which encodes an enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase, increases of enhancing number per panicle without negative effect on panicles plant or weight. NOG1 can significantly increase commercial high-yield varieties: introduction 25.8% in...

The elimination of seed shattering was a crucial event during crop domestication. Improving and fine-tuning the regulation this process will further enhance grain yield by avoiding losses production. In work, we identified loss-of-shattering mutant suppression shattering1 (ssh1) through screen mutagenized wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) introgression lines with naturally high shattering. Using MutMap approach transformation experiments, isolated genetic factor for shattering, SSH1, which is an...

Improving the yield by modifying plant architecture was a key step during crop domestication. Here, we show that 110-kb deletion on short arm of chromosome 7 in Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa), which is closely linked to previously identified PROSTRATE GROWTH 1 (PROG1) gene, harbors tandem repeat seven zinc-finger genes. Three these genes regulate architecture, suggesting also promoted critical transition from prostrate growth and low wild (O. rufipogon) erect high rice. We refer this...

Flowering at suitable time is very important for plants to adapt complicated environments and produce their seeds successfully reproduction. In rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) photoperiod regulation one of the factors controlling heading date. Common wild rice, ancestor cultivated exhibits a late date more sensitive photoperiodic response than rice. Here, through map-based cloning, we identified major quantitative trait loci (QTL) LHD1 (Late Heading Date 1), an allele DTH8/Ghd8, which controls...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is the fifth most popular crop worldwide and a C4 model plant. Domesticated sorghum comes in many forms, including sweet cultivars with juicy stems grain dry, pithy at maturity. The Dry locus, which controls pithy/juicy stem trait, was discovered over century ago. Here, we found that gene encodes plant-specific NAC transcription factor. either deleted or acquired loss-of-function mutations sorghum, resulting cell collapse altered secondary wall composition stem....

Callus browning, a common trait derived from the indica rice cultivar (Oryza sativa L.), is challenge to transformation regeneration. Here, we report map-based cloning of BROWNING OF CALLUS1 (BOC1) using population crossing Teqing, an elite subspecies exhibiting callus and Yuanjiang, wild accession rufipogon Griff.) that less susceptible browning. We show BOC1 encodes SIMILAR TO RADICAL-INDUCED CELL DEATH ONE (SRO) protein. browning can be reduced by appropriate upregulation BOC1, which...

Summary Plant architecture is a key agronomical factor determining crop yield and has been major target of cereal domestication. The transition plant from the prostrate tiller typical African wild rice ( Oryza barthii ) to erect cultivated glaberrima was step during domestication rice. Here we show that PROG 7 PROSTRATE GROWTH 7), zinc‐finger transcription gene on chromosome 7, required for growth Mutations in promoter region prog7 reduced level expression base, leading Sequence comparison...
