Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important food crop in the world, being a staple food for more than half of the world’s population. Recent improvements in living standards have increased the worldwide demand for high-yielding and high-quality rice cultivars. To develop novel cultivars with superior agronomic performance, we need to understand the molecular basis of agronomically important traits related to grain yield, grain quality, disease resistance, and abiotic stress tolerance. Decoding the whole rice genome sequence revealed that ,while there are more than 37,000 genes in the ~400 Mbp rice genome, there are only about 3000 genes whose molecular functions are characterized in detail. We collected in this volume the continued research efforts of scholars that elucidate genetic networks and the molecular mechanisms controlling agronomically important traits in rice.Molecular Research in RiceResearch & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicsscgrain number per paniclegrain yieldphase transitionrachis branchrice paniclespikelet specialisationriceflowering timeambient temperature fluctuationchromosome segment substitution line (CSSL)quantitative trait locus (QTL)drought tolerancecold toleranceOryza sativaOsCRP1chloroplast ribonucleoproteinsNAD(P)H dehydrogenase (NDH) complexnitrogen use efficiencytranscriptional regulationnitrate reductasenitrate transporterglutamate synthasepotassium chlorateQTLfood shortageyieldgrain sizeOsBRKq1genome editinghomozygousproteomicsC4 riceproto-Kranzphotosynthetic efficiencycrop improvementspike-stalk injectiontranscription factorOsWRKY55drought responseplant growthOsAP2-39inflorescence architectureBLH homedomain proteinbranching patternverticillate primary branchtranscriptome analysishormone pathwaysjaponica DT3submergence tolerancemarker-assisted backcrossforeground selectionbackground selectionthree-dimensional imagingshoot apical meristemroot tipResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesTechnology, engineering, agricultureHori Kiyosumiedt1295504Shenton MatthewedtHori KiyosumiothShenton MatthewothBOOK9910639995003321Molecular Research in Rice: Agronomically Important Traits 2.03029032UNINA
