To enhance our understanding of GA metabolism in rice (Oryza sativa), we intensively screened
and identified 29 candidate genes encoding the following GA metabolic enzymes using …

Since the discovery of the liquid‐crystalline state in 1888, liquid crystal science has made
great advances through fusion with various technologies and disciplines. Recently, new …

… permeability; proliferating cells are located at the troughs of the intestinal folds in
seawater and apoptotic cells are located around the tips of the intestinal folds in freshwater (Sakamoto, …

New cultivars with very erect leaves, which increase light capture for photosynthesis and
nitrogen storage for grain filling, may have increased grain yields 1 . Here we show that the …

Information of crop phenology is essential for evaluating crop productivity and crop management.
