This study demonstrates high-frequency synthetic apomixis in hybrid rice by inducing MiMe mutations and BBM1 expression, resulting in over 95% clonal seed production across generations.

This study isolates and transfects rice egg cells and zygotes to study cell cycle factors during embryogenesis.

This study identifies a core cell cycle complex in rice zygotes involving CDKB1, KRP4, KRP5, and FB3, showing their roles in regulating cell cycle progression and seed formation.

This study shows that drought duration affects the recovery of rice root microbiomes, with prolonged drought reducing resilience and altering microbial community dynamics.

This study characterizes the 24-nt siRNA landscape in rice zygotes, revealing a redistribution towards the vegetative profile and epigenetic resetting before the first embryonic division.

This study tracks root microbiota changes in field-grown rice over its life cycle, showing dynamic shifts during the vegetative phase and correlations with developmental stages rather than age alone.
