This new study reveals that, in rice, it is the phytochrome B – a light receptor – that makes the connection between light and the Evening Complex, thus regulating the flowering time.

Flowering time manipulated with common agrochemicals Date: March 27, 2017 ... (Hd3a) in the non-flowering rice strain so that it would be activated in response to certain agrochemicals.

Chromosome-level reference genomes of wild Oryza species can support neodomestication and the development of resilient, ...

Dynamic effects of interacting genes underlying rice flowering-time phenotypic plasticity and global adaptation. Genome Research , 2020; DOI: 10.1101/gr.255703.119 Cite This Page : ...

This enabled them to show that genes called “ELF3” and “LUX” are essential for flowering in rice. These genes make proteins that directly switch off genes that prevent flowering.

A near-complete genomic framework of wild Oryza species now provides insights into the evolution of the genus and offers new avenues for crop ...
