Overexpression of the chloroplastic 2-oxoglutarate/malate transporter disturbs carbon and nitrogen homeostasis in rice by Zamani-Nour, Shirin, Lin, Hsiang-Chun, Walker, Berkley J., Mettler-Altmann, Tabea, Khoshravesh, Roxana, Karki, Shanta, Bagunu, Efren, Sage, Tammy L., Quick, W. Paul, Weber, Andreas P.M.

“…OMT1 further plays a prominent role in C4 photosynthesis: OAA resulting from phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylation is imported into the chloroplast, reduced to malate by plastidic NADP-malate dehydrogenase, and then exported for transport to bundle sheath cells. Both transport steps are catalyzed by OMT1, at the rate of net carbon assimilation. …”

The usefulness of known genes/Qtls for grain quality traits in an indica population of diverse breeding lines tested using association analysis by Zhao, Xiangqian, Zhou, Lijie, Ponce, Kimberley, Ye, Guoyou

“…For these finely mapped QTLs or cloned genes to make an impact in practical breeding, it is necessary to test their effects in different genetic backgrounds. In this study, two hundred nineteen markers for 20 starch synthesis genes, 41 fine mapped grain shape and related traits QTLs/genes, and 54 chalkiness QTLs/genes plus 15 additional markers and a large indica population of 375 advanced lines were used to identify marker-trait associations under 6 environments that can be used directly in breeding for grain quality traits. …”

What’s holding back private sector agricultural insurance? by Hazell, Peter B. R., Timu, Anne G.

“…Even if targeted in this way, private unsubsidized insurance will only thrive given a supporting policy environment and, to keep costs down and improve the relevance and delivery of its products, insurers need to take full advantage of new and emerging digital and remote sensing innovations, and where possible, partner with intermediaries who can bundle their insurance with credit, farm inputs and other services.…”
