A strong root system facilitates the absorption of water and nutrients from the soil, to improve the growth of crops. However, to date, there are still very few root development regulatory genes that can be used in crop breeding for agriculture.
In this study, we cloned a negative regulator gene of root development, Robust Root System 1 (RRS1), which encodes an R2R3‐type MYB family transcription...
The improvement of cold adaptation has contributed to the increased growing area of rice. Standing variation and de novo mutation are distinct natural sources of beneficial alleles in plant adaptation. However, the genetic mechanisms and evolutionary patterns underlying these sources in a single population during crop domestication remain elusive.
Here we cloned the CTB2 gene, encoding a UDP‐glucose...
