OsCUL3a Negatively Regulates Cell Death and Immunity by Degrading OsNPR1 in Rice
February 09th，2017
The ubiquitin/proteasome pathway is a major system for the selective degradation of proteins in eukaryotes. Previous studies in plants have demonstrated that the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway is an essential component of the regulatory networks controlling...

In most flowering plants, flowers consist of sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils, which are arranged in concentric whorls. Genetic and morphological studies of floral homeotic mutants in eudicots have established the classical ABC model of floral develop...
Genome Editing in Rice Using CRISPR-Cpf1 System
December 14th，2016
Cpf1 is a class 2/typeV CRISPR effector that has been recently harnessed for genome editing in animal and human cell. Compared with CRIPSR-Cas9 system, Cpf1 recognizes thymidine-rich sequence as the protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) at the 5’ end of target...

Heading date (or flowering time, HD) represents one of the fundamental developmental events in the life cycle of the rice plant. It is one of the most important traits that enable rice to adapt to seasonal differences and specific growth conditions in div...
Genomic architecture of heterosis for yield traits in rice
October 31th，2016
Increasing grain yield is a long-term goal in crop breeding to meet the demand for global food security. Heterosis, when a hybrid shows higher performance for a trait than both parents, offers an important strategy for crop breeding.
