4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD, EC 1.13.11.27) is a critical enzyme for green herbicide discovery. This study aimed to develop new HPPD inhibitors for the efficient control of in rice fields. A series of 41 triketone derivatives were designed and synthesized using structure-based and proherbicide strategies. The herbicidal activity of the newly synthesized compounds was evaluated against common weeds in rice fields, including and . Among them, 2-(2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)-3-((2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)methyl)benzoyl)-3-((5-methoxy-1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)thio)cyclohex-2-en-1-one, compound , showing high efficiency against and , including the resistant biotypes at dosages as low as 19.62-33.26 g of ai/ha, which were significantly more active than that of bicyclopyrone. The density functional theory calculations and metabolism studies revealed the action mechanisms of . The field trials showed that could effectively control the weeds in rice fields at 90-150 g of ai/ha by postemergence application. Our findings suggested the great potential of to be developed as a highly effective herbicide for weed management in paddy fields.

Grain size substantially influences rice quality and yield. In this study, we identified (), a quantitative trait locus encoding an F-box protein that enhances grain length by promoting cell proliferation. The transcription factor OsbZIP35 represses expression, while COR1 interacts with OsTCP19, leading to its degradation.

Rice is consumed by ∼50% of the global population, grown primarily in flooded paddy fields, and is susceptible to arsenic accumulation. Inorganic arsenic, particularly in reduced form (As(III)), is considered the most toxic and is more likely to accumulate in rice grains under flooded systems. We postulate that increased levels of highly reactive iron minerals, such as ferrihydrite, in paddy soils can regulate the bioavailability of arsenic and reduce its uptake by priming iron plaque formation.

Since its emergence in 2020, a novel bacterial leaf blight caused by Pantoea ananatis has posed a serious threat to rice production in Anhui Province, China. Through verification via Koch's postulates and three years of field monitoring, P. ananatis strain HQ01 was identified as the dominant pathogen, exhibiting high virulence even at low inoculum concentrations (10² CFU/mL).

Motivation: The advent of next-generation sequencing-based spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) techniques has reshaped genomic studies by enabling high-throughput gene expression profiling while preserving spatial and morphological context. Understanding gene functions and interactions in different spatial domains is crucial, as it can enhance our comprehension of biological mechanisms, such as cancer-immune interactions and cell differentiation in various regions. It is necessary to cluster tissue regions into distinct spatial domains and identify discriminating genes that elucidate the clustering result, referred to as spatial domain-specific discriminating genes (DGs).
