Summary: The EP genotype conferred by DEP1 gene has been widely used in breeding high-yield Chinese japonica rice varieties. However, its breeding value at the plant population level has been rarely assessed. This study investigated the effects of the interaction between EP genotype and environment on rice yield and its components at different locations and times. The results showed that the EP genotype had positive effects on panicle number, grain number per square meter, and harvest index, while it had a negative effect on thousand-grain weight. The effectiveness of the EP genotype was found to be dependent on solar radiation availability and consistently positive in a high-radiation environment.

Summary: This study revealed a significant genotype x environment interaction in the growth traits of Picea koraiensis families, with families from colder regions showing superior growth compared to families from relatively warmer regions. The main drivers of this difference might be the annual average temperature and frost-free period.

Summary: Genomic selection is a reliable breeding method that can enhance genetic gain in recurrent selection breeding schemes. Integration of multi-generation and multi-location information improves genomic prediction models in the context of shuttle breeding. The Cirad-CIAT upland rice breeding program applies recurrent genomic selection to increase genetic gain and reduce phenotyping efforts.

Summary: In this study, a novel QTL affecting grain size and weight on chromosome 7 was identified and validated using introgression lines obtained from a cross between Oryza sativa and Oryza minuta. The study detected 12 QTLs for grain size traits on different chromosomes, with qGL7 being narrowed down to a 261 kb region and potentially involving three candidate genes encoding F-box domain-containing proteins. The results provide valuable insights for map-based cloning of the qGL7 gene and marker-assisted selection in rice grain quality improvement.

Summary: This study reveals the process of early rice domestication and demonstrates that the reduction of seed shattering is not solely controlled by the sh4 allele but requires the intervention of the qSH3 allele as well. The study also identifies the impact of qSH3 within the seed shattering gene OsSh1, which is consistent in the indica and japonica subspecies but absent in the circum-aus group of rice. Furthermore, the study shows that seed shattering alone does not significantly impact yield, but yield increases are observed with closed panicle formation controlled by SPR3 and further augmented by nonshattering conferred by integration of sh4 and qSH3 alleles.

Summary: Populus deltoides is an important poplar species in temperate and subtropical climates. The study examines the stability, adaptability, and high yield of P. deltoides hybrid genotypes in East China. It finds that genetic factors greatly influence the growth of P. deltoides, with different optimum genotypes in different locations and groupings. Shanxian County is identified as the most suitable site for growth of P. deltoides in the tested sites in East China.

Summary: The study found that genotype effect, environmental effect, and G x E interaction are significant in the early stage of poplar growth. Genotypes G4, G5, G7, and G9 exhibit favorable development characteristics, with high yield and stability. BLUP values and GGE biplots are effective methods for visual screening and genetic gains can be achieved using tree height and DBH of selected genotypes. Overall, the study provides practical experience and technical assistance for further breeding of Populus euramericana.

Summary: This study assessed the predictive ability of different genomic prediction models in multi-environment trials and found that models with main effects were sufficient to accurately predict the phenotypes of elite lines in target environments. These results will help improve the testing strategy and refine the genomic prediction models to enhance predictive ability.

Summary: The study combined farmer assessments and breeder evaluations to investigate the performance of promising rice lines in different environments. The results showed that Gamapadi-2 and Gamapadi-4 had the highest acceptability scores among farmers. Various evaluation methods were used to determine the most stable and high potential yield lines suitable for large-scale planting.

Summary: Research has shown that the rice gene OsCCR10 is directly activated by the transcription factor OsNAC5, mediating drought tolerance through lignin accumulation. Overexpression of OsCCR10 in transgenic rice plants results in improved drought tolerance and higher lignin content, while knockout mutants exhibit reduced lignin accumulation and drought tolerance. Transgenic rice plants with root-preferential overexpression of OsCCR10 also show higher grain yield under field drought conditions, indicating the importance of lignin biosynthesis in drought tolerance.

Summary: A comprehensive understanding of how plants sense and acquire nutrients is crucial for sustaining high crop yield. The protein OsCBL1 is involved in regulating nitrogen and phosphorus signaling in rice, especially when nitrogen is present in the form of ammonium. This research suggests that OsCBL1 plays a role in rice's response to nitrogen and phosphorus nutrition in the environment, as well as regulating rice growth through environmental nutrition.

Summary: This study investigates genotype by environment interactions of growth traits in razor clams reared in outdoor ponds and semi-natural environments. The results show significant genetic differences among families in different aquaculture environments. The heritabilities for growth traits are low to moderate, indicating that these traits can be effectively selected in both environments. This study provides guidance for breeding programs of razor clams in different aquaculture environments.
