• New study sheds light on genetics of rice metabolism
  

  A large-scale study analyzing metabolic compounds in rice grains conducted by researchers at the RIKEN Plant Science Center (PSC) and their collaborators has identified 131 rice metabolites and clarified the genetic and environmental factors that influence their production. The findings provide a na more

• Grain crops with lower carotene levels are less affected by parasitic plants

  Grain crops that produce less carotene can produce more food, especially in Africa, as they are less affected by parasitic plants. This is the result of research with which Muhammad Jamil hopes to obtain his doctorate at Wageningen University. Jamil studied processes and technologies that could impr more

• Largest rice genetics study finds vast differences between Asian rice subpopulations

  The largest publicly available genomewide association mapping study in rice to date has found that although the five subpopulations of Asian rice - indica, aus, temperate japonica, aromatic and tropical japonica - all belong to one species (Oryza sativa), their genetic structures are so different th more

• New: Multiplex Assays with Universal ProbeLibrary and Assay Design for Many More Organisms
  

  Since the availability of sound sequence data, organisms such as maize, rice, yeast, and zebrafish are gaining more and more importance in academic and industrial research, and the need for specific and quantitative real-time PCR assays for these organisms is growing. Instead of spending time on the lengthy development and optimization of SYBR Green I assays, you can now design highly specific probe-based intron-spanning assays for these organisms. more

• New GS FLX Titanium Series Paired End Sequencing Improved De Novo Sequencing for High Quality Genome Assembly
  

  Roche Applied Science has launched the latest update to the Genome Sequencer FLX System, the new GS FLX Titanium Library Paired End Adaptors for improved whole genome de novo sequencing. Widely recognized as the platform of choice for de novo sequencing applications, as a result of the system's long shotgun reads, the addition of 3kb, 8 kb and 20 kb span paired end libraries now facilitates assembly of increasingly complex genomes. The improved sequencing solution offers biologists more complete genome coverage, assembly into fewer, larger scaffolds and the ability to explore the full range of genetic variation more

• ShortStack: Comprehensive annotation and quantification of small RNA genes [BIOINFORMATICS]

  Small RNA sequencing allows genome-wide discovery, categorization, and quantification of genes producing regulatory small RNAs. Many tools have been described for annotation and quantification of microRNA loci (MIRNAs) from small RNA-seq data. However, in many organisms and tissue types, MIRNA gene more

• Quantification of the glucosamine content in the filamentous fungus Monascus ruber cultured on solid surfaces

  Abstract We evaluated whether the glucosamine content in the filamentous fungus Monascus ruber NBRC 32318, cultured on a solid surface (agar) containing different carbon and nitrogen sources, could be used as a measure of biomass. The relationship between the amounts of glucosamine and biomass more

• ACC deaminase and IAA producing growth promoting bacteria from the rhizosphere soil of tropical rice plants

  Abstract Beneficial plant‐associated bacteria play a key role in supporting and/or promoting plant growth and health. Plant growth promoting bacteria present in the rhizosphere of crop plants can directly affect plant metabolism or modulate phytohormone production or degradation. We isolated 35 more
