Dissecting Genetic Basis of Grain Shape and Chalkiness Traits in Hybrid Rice Using M...
September 07th,2017
Grain shape and chalkiness are two important components of rice grain quality. Previous studies have characterized several important genes controlling grain shape traits and a few QTLs that are responsible for grain chalkiness. However, the genetic archit...

Recently, researchers from China National Rice Research Institute (CNRRI), Zhejiang University, Zhejiang Sheng Ting Biotechnology Co., Ltd., University of Virginia and Chinese Academy of Sciences collaboratively published an article entitled Genomic V...
Increasing the efficiency of CRISPR-Cas9-VQR precise genome editing in rice
June 26th,2017
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) is a revolutionary technology that enables efficient genomic modification in many organisms. Currently, the wide use of Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCa...
