A case study from the overexpression of OsTZF5, encoding a CCCH tandem zinc finger protein, in rice plants across nineteen yield trials by Grondin, Alexandre, Natividad, Mignon A., Ogata, Takuya, Jan, Asad, Gaudin, Amélie C. M., Trijatmiko, Kurniawan R., Liwanag, Evelyn, Maruyama, Kyonoshin, Fujita, Yasunari, Yamaguchi-Shinozaki, Kazuko, Nakashima, Kazuo, Slamet-Loedin, Inez H., Henry, Amelia

“…Conclusions Although we cannot conclusively explain the genetic factors behind the loss of yield advantage of the transgenics under drought across generations, our results help in distinguishing among potential drought tolerance mechanisms related to effectiveness of the transgenics, since early flowering and harvest index most closely reflected the levels of yield advantage in the transgenics across generations while reduced biomass did not.…”

Developing early morning flowering version of rice variety CO 51 to mitigate the heat-induced yield loss by Ayyenar, Bharathi, Kambale, Rohit, Duraialagaraja, Sudhakar, Manickam, Sudha, Mohanavel, Vignesh, Shanmugavel, Priyanka, Alagarsamy, Senthil, Ishimaru, Tsutomu, Jagadish, Krishna S.V., Geethalakshmi, Vellingiri, Muthurajan, Raveendran

“…The development of heat-resilient rice cultivars has been slow due to the lack of relevant donors for heat tolerance traits and limited information regarding the genetic basis of these component traits. The early morning flowering (EMF) trait, contributing to heat escape by promoting flowering/anthesis during cooler hours in the morning is demonstrated to offer protection against high-temperature-induced failure of pollination and fertilization. …”
