Background Salinity-alkalinity stress is one of the major factors limiting rice production. The damage caused by alkaline salt stress to rice growth is more severe than that caused by neutral salt stress. At present, the genetic resources (quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and genes) that can be used by rice breeders to improve alkalinity tolerance are limited. Here, we assessed the alkalinity tolerance...
Glutelin is the most significant seed storage protein and is regarded as an important nutrient quality trait in rice. Research on the genetic basis of the glutelin content distinction in rice will provide more choices for the diets of people with kidney disease and diabetes. The GluA and GluB1 genes play important roles in the process of glutelin synthesis. In this study, 128 Japonica rice accessions...
Rice blast is one of the major fungal diseases that badly reduce rice production in China and worldwide. Association mapping for blast resistance was performed on 226 japonica rice cultivars with 118 pairs of SSR markers. The blast resistance was evaluated by inoculating with two isolates, DB22 and DB77, at the tillering stage in 2013 and 2014, separately. A total of 31 associations with 17 different...
