Characterization of Rhizosphere Oxidation Associated with Root Development in Rice Using Planar Oxygen Optodes

Tsubasa Kawai, Shota Teramoto, Xuping Ma, Daichi Fukushima, Kyu Kyu Hmwe, Samuel Munyaka Kimani, Takeshi Tokida, Yusaku Uga

This study uses multimodal imaging to show that rhizosphere oxygen levels in rice are linked to root growth stage and thickness, with genotypic differences observed in oxidation despite root thickness variations.

Vertical rooting caused by enhanced functional allele of qSOR1 improves rice yield under drought stress

Tsubasa Kawai, Yuka Kitomi, Ryo Kuroda, Ryu Nakata, Momoha Iba, Fumiyuki Soma, Shota Teramoto, Toshimasa Yamazaki, Kazuhiko Sugimoto, Yusaku Uga

This paper identifies a drought-resistant rice allele, qSOR1-v, that promotes vertical rooting and improves yield under drought without reducing yield under normal conditions.
