-
Genbank accession number
- Key message
- Ef-cd facilitates nitrogen utilization and also improves the photosynthesis rate
- Therefore, Ef-cd could be a vital contributor of elite early maturing hybrid varieties in balancing grain yield with maturity duration
- Ef-cd locus shortens rice maturity duration without yield penalty.
- Field test comparisons of early maturing Ef-cd near-isogenic lines with their wild types as well as of the derivative early maturing hybrids with their wild-type hybrids conducted under different latitudes determined that the early maturing Ef-cd allele shortens maturity duration (ranging from 7 to 20 d) without a concomitant yield penalty
- Connection
- Ef-cd, OsMADS50~OsSOC1~DTH3, Ef-cd locus shortens rice maturity duration without yield penalty., The Ef-cd locus gives rise to a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) antisense transcript overlapping the OsSOC1 gene
- Ef-cd, OsMADS50~OsSOC1~DTH3, Ef-cd locus shortens rice maturity duration without yield penalty., Ef-cd lncRNA expression positively correlates with the expression of OsSOC1 and H3K36me3 deposition
