Impact of pre-anthesis drought stress on physiology, yield-related traits and drought responsive genes in green super rice

H. Ahmad, S. A. Zafar, M. K. Naeem, S. Shokat, S. Inam, A. S. Naveed, J. Xu, Z. Li, G. M. Ali, M. R. Khan

This study evaluates drought tolerance in green super rice by analyzing physiological traits and gene expression under drought stress, identifying drought-responsive genes and traits associated with higher tolerance.

Sucrose promotes D53 accumulation and tillering in rice

S. B. Patil, F. F. Barbier, J. Zhao, S. A. Zafar, M. Uzair, Y. Sun, J. Fang, J. Bertheloot, S. Sakr, F. Fichtner, T. G. Chabikwa, S. Yuan, C. A. A. Beveridge, X. Li

This study shows that sucrose promotes tillering in rice by inhibiting strigolactone (SL) signaling, specifically by suppressing D3 and D14, which are key components of SL perception and D53 degradation.
