A silicon transporter in rice

Article Abstract:

A study conducted describes the Low silicon rice 1 (Lsi1) gene, which controls silicon accumulation in rice, a typical silicon-accumulating plant. The identification of a silicon transports provides both an insight into the silicon uptake system in plants, and a new strategy for producing crops with high resistance to multiple stresses by genetic modification of the root's silicon uptake capacity.

Adaptation of photperiodic control pathways produces short-day flowering in rice

Article Abstract:

Successful reproduction in plants is determined in part by photoperiodic control in flowering. Study of this process in rice (a short-day plant) and Arabidopsis thaliana (a long-day plant) reveals that manipulation of three regulatory genes that both share will trigger or suppress flowering.

Bypassing genomic imprinting allows seed development

Article Abstract:

Arabidopsis thaliana seeds are developed uniparental origin endosperm. Results support the hypothesis that has indicated that only with the evolution of double fertilization did the action of the fertilization-independent seed (FIS) genes become a necessity for seed development.
