Article Abstract
Panicle exsertion is one of the crucial agronomic traits in rice (Oryza sativa). Shortening of panicle exsertion often leads to panicle enclosure and severely reduces seed production. Gibberellin (GA) plays important roles in regulating panicle exsertion. However, the underlying mechanism and the relative regulatory network remain elusive. Here, we characterized the oswrky78 mutant showing severe panicle enclosure, and found that the defect of oswrky78 is caused by decreased bioactive GA contents. Biochemical analysis demonstrates that OsWRKY78 can directly activate GA biosynthesis and indirectly suppress GA metabolism. Moreover, we found OsWRKY78 can interact with and be phosphorylated by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase OsMAPK6, and this phosphorylation can enhance OsWRKY78 stability and is necessary for its biological function. Taken together, these results not only reveal the critical function of OsWRKY78, but also reveal its mechanism via mediating crosstalk between MAPK and the GA signaling pathway in regulating panicle exsertion.

Background: Hybrid rice is pivotal for ensuring food security in China, yet challenges persist in its seed production. Sterile lines commonly face issues such as necking, gibberellins (GAs) are key regulators of panicle exsertion in rice, necessitating increased application of GAs during seed production, leading to elevated costs and environmental pollution. The novel photoperiod-thermosensitive genic male sterile line Shuang 1S addresses these limitations through its unique non-necked morphology and has super high yield of seed production.

Panicle exsertion is essential for crop yield and quality, and understanding its molecular mechanisms is crucial for optimizing plant architecture. In this study, the sheathed panicle-I (shp-I) mutant was identified from the ethyl methane sulfonate mutant population of the sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] variety Hongyingzi (HYZ).

It is essential to comprehend genetic diversity for the conservation and effective utilization of crop genetic resources. There is limited information on genetic resource collection, phenotypic characterization, and conservation of sorghum genotypes in Ethiopia, particularly in the southern region. The study was conducted at the Jinka Agricultural Research Centre during the 2021 cropping season, to quantify and qualitatively assess the morphological diversity of sorghum genotypes.

Panicle elongation length (PEL), which determines panicle exsertion, is an important outcrossing-related trait. Mining genes controlling PEL in rice (Oryza sativa L.) has great practical significance in breeding cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) lines with increased PEL and simplified, high-efficiency seed production.

The shift from outcrossing to predominantly selfing is one of the most common transitions in plant evolution. This evolutionary shift has received considerable attention from biologists; however, this work has almost exclusively been focused on animal-pollinated systems. Despite the seminal ecological and economic importance of wind-pollinated species, the mechanisms controlling the degree of outcrossing in wind-pollinated taxa remain poorly understood.
