We hypothesized that the increased respiratory carbon loss under high night temperatures (HNT) could be compensated for by increased photosynthesis during the day following HNT exposure. Two rice genotypes, Vandana (HNT-sensitive) and Nagina 22 (HNT-tolerant), were exposed to HNT (4 °C above the control) from flowering to physiological maturity. They were assessed for alterations in the carbon balance of the source (flag leaf) and its subsequent impact on grain filling dynamics and the quality of spatially differentiated sinks (superior and inferior spikelets). Both genotypes exhibited significantly higher night respiration rates. However, only Nagina 22 compensated for the high respiration rates with an increased photosynthetic rate, resulting in a steady production of total dry matter under HNT. Nagina 22 also recorded a higher grain-filling rate, particularly at 5 and 10 d after flowering, with 1.5- and 4.0-fold increases in the translocation of ¹⁴C sugars to the superior and inferior spikelets, respectively. The ratio of photosynthetic rate to respiratory rate on a leaf area basis was negatively correlated with spikelet sterility, resulting in a higher filled spikelet number and grain weight per plant, particularly for inferior grains in Nagina 22. Grain quality parameters such as head rice recovery, high-density grains, and gelatinization temperature were maintained in Nagina 22. An increase in the rheological properties of rice flour starch in Nagina 22 under HNT indicated the stability of starch and its ability to reorganize during the cooling process of product formation. Thus, our study showed that sink adjustments between superior and inferior spikelets favored the growth of inferior spikelets, which helped to offset the reduction in grain weight under HNT in the tolerant genotype Nagina 22.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56069,"journal":{"name":"Rice Science","volume":"31 5","pages":"Pages 572-586"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142425073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, the advent of degradable film, controlled-release fertilizer, organic fertilizer, and film mulching machinery is promoting the development of rice film mulching cultivation. This review outlines the impact of rice cultivation under film mulching on soil moisture, soil temperature, soil fertility, greenhouse gas emissions, weed control, and disease and pest management.

This study focused on F_5:6 generation plants derived from inter-subspecific crosses (Nipponbare × KDML105) with low (LS) and high seed-setting rates (HS), in which normal pollen fertility was observed. However, LS plants showed a reduced number of pollen grains adhering to the stigma and fewer pollen tubes reaching the ovules at 4‒5 h post-pollination, compared with HS plants. Bulked segregant RNA-Seq analysis of pollinated pistils from the HS and LS groups revealed 249 and 473 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), respectively. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis of the HS and LS- specific DEGs indicated enrichment in metabolic pathways, pentose and glucuronate interconversions, and flavonoid biosynthesis. Several of these DEGs exhibited co-expression with pollen development genes and formed extensive clusters of co-expression networks. Compared with LS pistils, enzyme genes controlling pectin degradation, such as <em>OsPME35</em> and <em>OsPLL9</em>, showed similar expression patterns, with higher levels in HS pistils pre-pollination. <em>Os02g0467600</em>, similar to cinnamate 4-hydroxylase gene (<em>CYP73</em>), involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, displayed higher expression in HS pistils post-pollination. Our findings suggest that <em>OsPME35</em>, <em>OsPLL9</em>, and <em>Os02g0467600</em> contribute to prezygotic isolation by potentially modifying the stigma cell wall (<em>OsPME35</em> and <em>OsPLL9</em>) and controlling later processes such as pollen-stigma adhesion (<em>Os02g0467600</em>) genes. Furthermore, several DEGs specific to HS and LS were co-localized with QTLs and functional genes associated with spikelet fertility.

Despite serving as a staple for over half of the world’s population, rice falls short in meeting daily nutritional requirements, especially for iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). Genetic resources, such as wild rice species and specific rice varieties, offer promising avenues for enhancing Fe and Zn content. Additionally, molecular breeding approaches have identified key genes and loci associated with Fe and Zn accumulation in rice grains. This review explores the genetic resources and molecular mechanisms underlying Fe and Zn accumulation in rice grains. The functional genomics involved in Fe uptake, transport, and distribution in rice plants have revealed key genes such as <em>OsFRO1</em>, <em>OsIRT1</em>, and <em>OsNAS3</em>. Similarly, genes associated with Zn uptake and translocation, including <em>OsZIP11</em> and <em>OsNRAMP1</em>, have been identified. Transgenic approaches, leveraging transporter gene families and genome editing technologies, offer promising avenues for enhancing Fe and Zn content in rice grains. Moreover, strategies for reducing phytic acid (PA) content, a known inhibitor of mineral bioavailability, have been explored, including the identification of low-PA mutants and natural variants. The integration of genomic information, including whole-genome resequencing and pan-genome analyses, provides valuable insights into the genetic basis of micronutrient traits and facilitates targeted breeding efforts. Functional genomics studies have elucidated the molecular mechanisms underlying Fe uptake and translocation in rice. Furthermore, transgenic and genome editing techniques have shown promise in enhancing Fe and Zn content in rice grains through the manipulation of key transporter genes.

Plant height (PH) dynamics are valuable for estimating phenological dates. However, research on estimating the key phenological dates of multiple rice accessions based on PH dynamics has been limited. In 2022, field traits were collected using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based images across 435 plots, including 364 rice varieties. PH, dates of initial heading (IH) and full heading (FH), and panicle initiation (PI), and growth period after transplanting (GPAT) were collected during the rice growth stage. PHs were extracted using a digital surface model (DSM) and fitted using Fourier and logistic models. Machine learning algorithms, including multiple linear regression, random forest (RF), support vector regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, and elastic net regression, were employed to estimate phenological dates. Results indicated that the optimal percentile of the DSM for extracting rice PH was the 95th (<em>R</em>² = 0.934, RMSE = 0.056 m). The Fourier model provided a better fit for PH dynamics compared with the logistic models. Additionally, curve features (CF) and GPAT were significantly associated with PI, IH, and FH. The combination of CF and GPAT outperformed the use of CF alone, with RF demonstrating the best performance among the algorithms. Specifically, the combination of CF extracted from the logistic models, GPAT, and RF yielded the best performance for estimating PI (<em>R</em>² = 0.834, RMSE = 4.344 d), IH (<em>R</em>² = 0.877, RMSE = 2.721 d), and FH (<em>R</em>² = 0.883, RMSE = 2.694 d).
