The role of de novo evolved genes from non-coding sequences in regulating morphological differentiation between species/subspecies remains largely unknown. Here, we show that a rice gene GSE9 contributes to grain shape difference indica/xian and japonica/geng varieties. evolves previous region wild Oryza rufipogon through the acquisition start codon. This is inherited by most japonica varieties, while original sequence (absence codon, gse9) present majority indica Knockout varieties leads slender grains, whereas introgression background results round grains. Population evolutionary analyses reveal gse9 are derived Or-I Or-III groups, respectively. Our findings uncover genetic divergence subspecies, provide target for precise manipulation shape.

Abstract For successful double fertilization in flowering plants (angiosperms), pollen tubes deliver 2 nonmotile sperm cells toward female gametes (egg and central cell, respectively). Heatwaves, especially during the reproduction period, threaten male gametophyte (pollen) development, resulting severe yield losses.

ABSTRACT Comprehensively identifying the loci shaping trait variation has been challenging, in part because standard approaches often miss many types of genetic variants. Structural variants (SVs), especially transposable elements (TEs), are likely to affect phenotypic but we lack methods that can detect polymorphic SVs and TEs using short‐read sequencing data. Here, used a whole genome alignment between two maize genotypes identify then genotyped large diversity panel for these After characterising SV panel, identified polymorphisms associated with life history traits genotype‐by‐environment (GxE) interactions. While most contained TEs, only had boundaries clearly matched TE breakpoints indicative insertion, while other were caused by deletions. One appeared be insertion associations gene expression compared trait‐associated SVs.

Chalk, an undesirable grain quality trait in rice, is primarily formed due to high temperatures during the grain-filling process. Owing disordered starch granule structure, air spaces and low amylose content, chalky grains are easily breakable milling thereby lowering head rice recovery its market price. Availability of multiple QTLs associated with chalkiness attributes, provided us opportunity perform a meta-analysis identify candidate genes their alleles contributing enhanced quality. From 403 previously reported QTLs, 64 Meta-QTLs encompassing 5262 non-redundant were identified. MQTL analysis reduced genetic physical intervals nearly 73% meta-QTLs narrower than 5cM 2Mb, revealing hotspot genomic regions. By investigating expression profiles published datasets, 49 shortlisted on basis differential regulation at least two datasets. We identified non-synonymous allelic variations haplotypes 39 across 3K genome panel. Further, we phenotyped subset panel 60 accessions by exposing them temperature stress under natural field conditions over Rabi cropping seasons. Haplo-pheno uncovered haplotype combinations synthesis genes, GBSSI SSIIa, significantly towards formation chalk rice. We, therefore, report not only markers pre-breeding material, but also propose superior which can be introduced using either marker-assisted breeding or CRISPR-Cas based prime editing generate elite varieties HRY traits.

Leaf sheath blight disease (SB) of rice caused by the soil-borne fungus Rhizoctonia solani results in 10-30% global yield loss annually and can reach 50% under severe outbreaks. Many resistance genes receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are recruited early on host plant to respond pathogens. Wall-associated receptor (WAKs), a subfamily kinases, have been shown play role fungal defense. The gene WAK91 (OsWAK91), co-located major SB QTL region chromosome 9, was identified us as candidate defense against blight.
