This study identifies JMJ706 as a gene regulating rice flowering time by modulating short-day and long-day pathways through histone demethylation.

The paper identifies an early-heading mutant rice line, GB-10, and links its phenotype to a single nucleotide variant on chromosome 7 affecting Hd3a and RFT1 expression.

The paper determines the mitochondrial genome of Taichung 65 rice using a hybrid sequencing approach and classifies it as typical japonica.
