The paper identifies favorable genotype combinations in temperate japonica rice using haplotype analysis of a multi-parent population, showing how specific variants improve yield and lodging tolerance.

RAP-DB curates gene annotations and integrates omics data for rice, supporting functional genomics and molecular breeding through expert curation and community resources.

The paper uses multi-omics profiling and an indoor unmanned phenotyping system to identify constitutive ABF1 expression as a mechanism for drought adaptation in wild rice.

The paper uses genome editing to modify a conserved noncoding sequence downstream of TAWAWA1 in rice, leading to increased panicle branching phenotypes through transcriptional upregulation of TAW1.

The paper generates chromosome-scale and haploid-resolved genome assemblies for Citrus unshiu and its parental species using long-read sequencing and Hi-C, revealing structural differences and polymorphism variations.
