This study shows that rice plants increase DMA exudation under Zn deficiency, supporting its role as a general stress response, though Zn uptake does not increase.

The paper develops new rice varieties with improved phosphorus efficiency for low-input smallholder farming in Madagascar, achieving higher yields than existing varieties in marginal environments.

This study identifies a gene variant in rice that disrupts protein interaction and alters flavonoid and lignin metabolism, affecting hull color and pathogen resistance.

The paper identifies a DJ123 allele at qHd7.1 that promotes early heading without yield loss in Madagascar's short-day, low-fertility conditions but reduces yield in Japan's long-day conditions.

The paper compares root transcriptomes of two rice genotypes under phosphorus conditions to identify molecular mechanisms underlying phosphorus-use efficiency.
