Indica-japonica hybrid rice cultivars show great yield potential but poor eating quality and require more nitrogen (N) input relative to japonica rice. However, the effect of N levels on the eating quality of indica-japonica hybrid rice is little kno...
The ratoon rice planting area is gradually expanding, and decreasing Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in ratoon rice is important for food safety and human health. In this study, conventional indica rice (HHZ, Huanghuazhan), three-line indica–japonica...
Despite the successful breeding of hybrid japonica rice by the new strategy (the female parent with a restorer line containing an appropriate proportion of indica rice genes) in China, it remains unclear whether these cultivars exhibit a similar yiel...
Not enough attention has been paid to the comparison in yield performance and N responsiveness between hybrid rice and inbred rice using the large number of new cultivars released after 2000 under machine transplanting. Field experiments were conduct...
During the later reproductive period of rice growth, the chlorophyll in the leaves degraded, accompanied by the nitrogen (N) transportation from leaves to panicle, resulting in a change in leaf color from green to yellow. This study aimed to investig...
Ethylenediurea (EDU) is an indicator of surface ozone (O3), has a high potential to be developed as an applicable protectant for crops against O3 phytotoxicity. Studies on the effects of EDU on grain quality are few, limiting evaluation of the effici...
Indica(xian)-japonica(geng) hybrid rice has many heterosis traits that can improve rice yield. However, the traditional hybrid technology will struggle to meet future needs for the development of higher-yield rice. Available genomics resources can be...
Previous studies have revealed that the japonica/indica hybrid rice has a higher yield potential, biomass production, and nitrogen (N) accumulation than japonica rice in China, however, at a single N application rate. It remains unclear whether it al...
At present, there is a limited understanding of nitrogen (N) accumulation, translocation, and utilization in different types of rice grown using different planting methods in a rice–wheat rotation system. Systematic experiments were conducted w...
Effective panicle numbers (PNs) and Tiller numbers (TNs) are important traits affecting rice (Oryza sativa L.) architecture and grain yield. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying PN and TN heterosis remain unknown in rice. In addition, new PN-...
Early-maturing japonica/indica hybrids (EJIH) have recently been released, performing a yield potential of 13.5 t ha−1 and greater yield increase over conventional japonica rice (CJ) and hybrid indica rice (HI) in production. More spikelets per panic...
Drought is the most challenging abiotic stress for rice production in the world. Thus, developing new rice genotype tolerance to water scarcity is one of the best strategies to achieve and maximize high yield potential with water savings. The study a...
This study investigated how nitrogen fertilizer management influences the yield and grain quality of two rice cultivars, Nanjing 9108 (a late-maturing medium japonica) and Ming 1 Youzhenzhan (a three-line indica hybrid). Three field experiments were...
