This study identifies ZOS5-09 as a transcriptional repressor that regulates rice grain size, starch, and protein biosynthesis by modulating cell proliferation, expansion, and gene expression.

This study identifies a repressor-activator-competitor module involving ZOS1-15 and ONAC024 that regulates rice grain development through interactions with other transcription factors and co-repressors.

GWAShub provides a web-based platform for conducting GWAS in crop plants, demonstrating its utility by identifying histone methyltransferase genes linked to flowering time in chickpea.

The paper develops a rice pan-genome genotyping array (RPGA) to capture genetic variation and improves GWAS by detecting novel loci and reducing reference bias.
