Rice, the primary source of dietary calories for half of humanity, is the first crop plant for which
a high-quality reference genome sequence from a single variety was produced. We used …

IR64, the most widely grown indicarice in South and Southeast Asia, possesses many positive
agronomic characteristics (eg, wide adaptability, high yield potential, tolerance to multiple …

Next-generation sequencing plays a central role in the characterization and quantification of
transcriptomes. Although numerous metrics are purported to quantify the quality of RNA, …

Background The transcriptional regulatory network involved in low temperature response
leading to acclimation has been established in Arabidopsis. In japonica rice, which can only …

We present here the annotation of the complete genome of rice Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica
cultivar Nipponbare. All functional annotations for proteins and non-protein-coding RNA (…

Ambiguous germplasm identification; difficulty in tracing pedigree information; and lack of
integration between genetic resources, characterization, breeding, evaluation, and utilization …

Within clinical, biomedical, and translational science, an increasing number of projects are
adopting graphs for knowledge representation. Graph‐based data models elucidate the …

The International Rice Functional Genomics Consortium (IRFGC) has initiated a project to
provide the rice research community with access to extensive information on genetic variation …

Panicle exsertion, an essential physiological process for obtaining high grain yield in rice is
mainly driven by peduncle (uppermost internode) elongation. Drought at heading/panicle …

Background and aims Agricultural crop databases maintained in gene banks of the
Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) are valuable sources of …
