Temperature of a plant organ constitutes an integrative index to its eco-physiological properties and status. However, little attempt has been made dissect the combined effect ecological physiological factors on surface temperature such as rice spikelet. In this study, using deactivated reference, we developed novel comparison method environmental effects Three japonica cultivars with contrasti...

Increasing rice yield potential is essential to secure world food supply. The quantitative trait locus qTSN4 was reported to achieve yield increases by enhancing both source and sink capacity. Three greenhouse experiments and one field experiment in the Philippines were conducted to study near-isogenic lines (NILs) in two genetic backgrounds, subjected to treatments with restricted light resour...

The process of rice domestication occurred in the Lower Yangtze region of Zhejiang, China, between 6900 and 6600 years ago. Archaeobotanical evidence from the site of Tianluoshan shows that the proportion of nonshattering domesticated rice (Oryza sativa) spikelet bases increased over this period from 27% to 39%. Over the same period, rice remains increased from 8% to 24% of all plant remains, w...

This work describes a new and different path to create a wavelet transform that can match a specified discrete-time signal. Called Spikelet, it is designed and optimized to spike and overlap pattern recognition in the digitalized signal that comes from H1, a motion-sensitive neuron of the fly’s visual system. The technique proposed here and the associated algorithm, implemented in real time usi...

Many stress responsive genes have been reported with an effect on improving stress resistance in model plants under greenhouse conditions. Towards identification of genes for drought resistance breeding, seven well documented genes (CBF3, SOS2, NCED2, NPK1, LOS5, ZAT10, and NHX1) in stress resistance were selected in this study and transformed into rice cultivar Zhonghua 11 under the control of...

Irrigation and nitrogen (N) are two crucial factors affecting perennial grass seed production. To investigate the effects of irrigation N rate on yield (SY), components, water use efficiency (WUE) Cleistogenes songorica (Roshevitz) Ohwi, an ecologically significant grass, a four-year (2016–2019) field trial was conducted in arid region northwestern China. Two regimes (I1 treatment: at tillering...

Spikelet number per spike (SNS) is the primary factor that determines wheat yield. Common breeding reduces genetic diversity among elite germplasm resources, leading to a detrimental effect on future production. It is, therefore, necessary explore new resources for SNS increase A tetraploid landrace “Ailanmai” × wild emmer recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was used construct map using 55...
