Population growth, arable land and fresh water limits, and climate change have profound
implications for the ability of agriculture to meet this century’s demands for food, feed, fiber, and …

Most Oryza sativa cultivars die within a week of complete submergence—a major constraint
to rice production in south and southeast Asia that causes annual losses of over US$1 …

The rice disease resistance gene Xa21, encoding a receptor-like kinase, is a member of a
multigene family. Sequence analysis of seven family members revealed two distinct classes of …

We generated a high-quality reference genome sequence for foxtail millet (Setaria italica).
The ∼400-Mb assembly covers ∼80% of the genome and >95% of the gene space. The …

The rice Xa21 gene, which confers resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae race 6,
was isolated by positional cloning. Fifty transgenic rice plants carrying the cloned Xa21 gene …

Although similar integrative tools exist (Supplementary Note 2), no other open platform
shares all KBase’s features, which include the following:(i) comprehensive support for data …

Many plant bacteriologists, if not all, feel that their particular microbe should appear in any
list of the most important bacterial plant pathogens. However, to our knowledge, no such list …

A molecular map has been constructed for the rice genome comprised of 726 markers (mainly
restriction fragment length polymorphisms; RFLPs). The mapping population was derived …

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola cause bacterial
blight and bacterial leaf streak of rice (Oryza sativa), which constrain production of this staple …

Submergence-1 (Sub1), a major quantitative trait locus affecting tolerance to complete
submergence in lowland rice (Oryza sativa), contains two or three ethylene response factor (ERF)…
