Increasing the yield is one of the most important goals of crop improvement.Since the beginning of rice cultivation thousands of years ago,many efforts have been made to increase rice yield.One of the successes in thi...
The“Green Revolution”spread worldwide due to the propagation of the causative gene of a semi-dwarf variety of wheat Norin 10 mutant,which was bred by Dr.Gonjiro Inazuka in 1935.This dwarf variety was later used to h...

Dear Editor,Wheat(Triticum aestivum)is a major staple crop in the world and provides~20%of the food calories for human consumption(Appels et al.,2018).During the 1960s and 1970s,the introduction of two semi-dwarfing g...
Rice serves as the staple food in meeting the energy needs of more than half of the global population.Several high-yielding,semi-dwarf rice varieties,including the milestone variety IR8 that was developed by the Inter...

The Green Revolution(GR)of the 1960s saw spectacular increases in cereal crop yields,enabled by widespread adoption of high-yielding semi-dwarf varieties and increased fertilizer use.Semi-dwarfism is caused by mutant ...
Although auxin and brassinosteroid (BR) synergistically control various plant responses, the molecular mechanism underlying the auxin-BR crosstalk is not wen understood. We previously identified SMOS1, an auxin-regu...
A genome-wide screen for mutants showing altered brassinosteroid (BR) sensitivity or bril-like phenotypes resulted in the identification of two new mutant alleles of TWISTED DWARF 1 (TWD1), twd1-4, and twdl-5. Pre...
