A step forward in breeding for ratooning ability in rice by Henry, Amelia

“…Recently, perenniality-related traits have 20 been introgressed into Oryza sativa from Oryza longistaminata (Zhang et al., 2023); this 21 material may be useful for annual ratoon rice but is generally targeting a different agronomic 22 system. …”

Tailoring rice varieties to consumer preferences induced by cultural and colonial heritage: Lessons from New Rice for Africa (NERICA) in The Gambia by Britwum, Kofi, Demont, Matty

“…We use auction market data to assess the intrinsic and extrinsic consumer value of NERICA in The Gambia relative to two market standards: branded, Asian rice imports and the most popular locally grown Asian rice variety. …”

Presence of citrus greening disease in Bangladesh and a new method for rapid diagnosis by Hondrade, Rosa Fe, Hondrade, Edwin, Zheng, Lianqing, Elazegui, Francisco, Duque, JLE, Mundt, Christopher C, Vera Cruz, Casiana M, Garrett, Karen A

“…We also analyzed the yield ranking of each cropping system across site-year combinations to determine mean relative performance and yield stability. When weighted by their relative economic value, UPL Ri-5 had the highest mean performance, but with decreasing performance in low-yielding environments. …”

Autophagy-associated alpha-arrestin signaling is required for conidiogenous cell development in Magnaporthe oryzae by Dong, Bo, Xu, Xiaojin, Chen, Guoqing, Zhang, Dandan, Tang, Mingzhi, Xu, Fei, Liu, Xiaohong, Wang, Hua, Zhou, Bo

“…We show that disruption of ARRDC1 generates mutants which produce conidia in an acropetal array and ARRDC1 significantly affects expression profile of CCA1, a virulence-related transcription factor required for conidiogenous cell differentiation. …”

Genetic diversity and structure of improved indica rice germplasm by Wang, Kai, Qiu, Fulin, dela Paz, Madonna Angelita, Zhuang, Jieyun, Xie, Fangming

“…It was also observed that the most well-known hybrid rice parents, Zhenshan97B and Minghui63, were unexpectedly clustered in the same SG with a relatively narrow genetic distance, which suggests that a significant genetic distance between parents is not a prerequisite for all elite hybrid rice lines with high heterosis.…”

SeqSNP-based genic markers reveal genetic architecture and candidate genes for low nitrogen tolerance in tropical maize inbred lines by Abu, P., Badu-Apraku, B., Ifie, B.E., Eleblu, J.S.Y., Ehemba, L., Tongoona, P., Offei, S.

“…A total of 150 extra-early quality protein maize (QPM) inbred lines were assessed under both low (LN) and high (HN) nitrogen, followed by genotyping with 2,500 SeqSNPs targeting genes previously reported for LN tolerance-related traits. Population structure analysis revealed six sub-populations. …”
