Natural alleles of a proteasome α2 subunit gene contribute to thermotolerance and adaptation of African rice

Hong-Xuan Lin, Ji-Ping Gao, Jun-Xiang Shan and colleagues show that natural variation in a proteasome α2 subunit gene contributes to thermotolerance in African rice. Their follow-up studies suggest that the variant allele protects cells from heat stress by enhancing the elimination of cytotoxic denatured proteins and maintaining heat-response processes.

Single-molecule direct RNA sequencing reveals the shaping of epitranscriptome across multiple species

Nanopore direct RNA sequencing is promising for epitranscriptome study but remains limited in single-molecule resolution. Here, the authors develop SingleMod, a tool for accurate single-molecule m6A detection from DRS and reveal cross-species epitranscriptome landscapes at single-molecule level.

A two-locus interaction causes interspecific hybrid weakness in rice

Hybrids often show poorer performance than their parents due to conflict between parental genes, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, Chen et al. identify three genes that activate immune responses and hinder hybrids growth in rice, a finding that may help rice breeding.

Systematic calibration of epitranscriptomic maps using a synthetic modification-free RNA library

This work describes the generation of a modification-free RNA library that resembles endogenous transcriptome sequence and expression level, which can be used as a negative control in epitranscriptomic sequencing methods to obtain high-confidence and quantitative maps of various RNA modifications.

Fine-tuning gibberellin improves rice alkali–thermal tolerance and yield

Precise regulation of the phytohormone gibberellin to optimal levels may not only confer alkali–thermal tolerance to Green Revolution rice varieties but may also further enhance their yield, and ATT2, by enabling the fine-tuning of gibberellins, is expected to be a potential new post-Green Revolution gene.

Systematic comparison of tools used for m⁶A mapping from nanopore direct RNA sequencing

Direct RNA sequencing using nanopore platform can be used to detect N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications on mRNAs. Here the authors systematically compare tools used for m6A detection from nanopore direct sequencing.

Higher yield with less nitrogen fertilizer

The excess application of nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture and the limitation of nitrogen uptake by crops raise the alarm about the urgency to breed crops with higher nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Recently, a novel strategy has been developed to enhance NUE and crop production by manipulating nitrate remobilization.
