Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Breeding practices of modern rice agriculture are critical in satisfying the increasing number of consumer demands for a high grain quality, a primary challenge due to the complex quality traits controlled by polygenes or quantitative trait loci. Therefore, a deeper understanding is of crucial importance to uncover how to identify and map the genomic regions for quality traits, with the aim of breeding new high-quality rice varieties.

This Special Issue regarding the basic mechanism of rice quality focuses on decoding the genetic basis of the grain quality of rice, including milling, physical appearance, eating and cooking, sensory and nutritional value parameters, etc. We welcome all types of articles, such as original research, opinions, and reviews, covering a broad range of gene identification, QTL mapping, marker development and gene cloning.

Grain size, shape and weight are important factors influencing grain yield and quality of rice. They are mostly determined by grain length (GL) and grain width (GW). A 13.2 Mb interval, RM167–RM287 on chromosome 11 of rice, was previously found to be associated [...] Read more.
Grain size, shape and weight are important factors influencing grain yield and quality of rice. They are mostly determined by grain length (GL) and grain width (GW). A 13.2 Mb interval, RM167–RM287 on chromosome 11 of rice, was previously found to be associated with variations in 1000-grain weight (TGW). In this study, three populations derived from the indica rice cross Teqing/IRBB52 were used to identify and validate quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling GL, GW, TGW and the ratio of GL to GW (RLW) in the RM167–RM287 region. First, two QTL clusters associated with these traits were detected using two populations, segregating the RM167–RM287 interval only. One controlled GL, GW and TGW and was designated as qGS11. The other controlled GL and RLW. The allelic directions of the two QTL clusters on GL were opposite. Then, qGS11 was further mapped in a 1.4 Mb interval using near-isogenic lines, showing a small effect on GL and a relatively large effect on TGW, GW and RLW. Meanwhile, a stable and small effect on the heading date was detected. The allelic direction for the heading date was the opposite for TGW and GW but the same for GL and RLW. The results suggest that qGS11 has the potential for application in rice breeding. Full article

The primary considerations in rice (Oryza sativa L.) production evoke improvements in the nutritional quality as well as production. Rice cultivars need to be developed to tackle hunger globally with high yield and better nutrition. The traditional cultivation methods of rice to increase the production by use of non-judicious fertilizers to fulfill the nutritional requirement of the masses. This article provokes nutritional strategies by utilization of available omics techniques to increase the nutritional profiling of rice. Recent scientific advancements in genetic resources provide many approaches for better understanding the molecular mechanisms encircled in a specific trait for its up- or down-regulation for opening new horizons for marker-assisted breeding of new rice varieties. In this perspective, genome-wide association studies, genome selection (GS) and QTL mapping are all genetic analysis that help in precise augmentation of specific nutritional enrichment in rice grain. Implementation of several omics techniques are effective approaches to enhance and regulate the nutritional quality of rice cultivars. Advancements in different types of omics including genomics and pangenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, nutrigenomics and proteomics are also relevant to rice development initiatives. This review article compiles genes, locus, mutants and for rice yield and yield attribute enhancement. This knowledge will be useful for now and for the future regarding rice studies. Full article
