Rice plants yields

Mephosfolan. The metabolic fate of mephosfolan in cotton plants and in rice plants grown in a paddy environment was studied. Cotton plants were grown from seeds (Delta pine smooth leaf variety). Six-week-old plants containing 4 to 6 leaves were treated foliarly with C-mephosfolan. Plants were analyzed at periodic intervals. The distribution of radioactivity in cotton plants after foliar application of C-mephosfolan is summarized in Table V. The metabolic pathways of mephosfolan in cotton plants involve oxidation, hydrolysis and conjugation to yield glucosides (Figure 2). 

Further experiments should include the determination of the genetic basis of drought tolerance. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for drought-tolerant upland rice were determined, having positive effects on the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and the quantum yield of PS II [60], The same allele is responsible for the improvement of rice grain yield and plant water uptake under drought conditions [61]. 

In wheat, the ear weights of both tillers and the main stem were increased, in comparison with untreated controls by brassinolide (BR) sprays (I). In corn, BR treatment had significant influence on the length of the unfertile tip portion of the ear and on the number of vacant kernels. The yield increased compared with untreated controls (2). Little is known of the effect of BR on the ripening of rice plants, and the mode of action of BR on the ripening of rice has not been studied. To increase crop yield, it is necessary to improve the photosynthetic efficiency and promote the translocation of photosynthetic products in the panicles. Therefore, we assessed the ripening of rice, the translocation of photosynthetic products, and plant hormone levels in panicles.

The Mekong river delta is selected as the study site for the prospective system as it is the largest area for the cultivation of rice in Vietnam, with more than 50% of rice yield, and a rice production yield of 24.29 rmUion tonnes in 2012 [37]. Because of high production yield, the amount of rice husk is therefore large, which makes this area technically suitable for constructing a bioelectricity plant with rice husk as raw material. 

Some modern varieties of cereals such as wheat and rice achieve high yield potential through genetic factors for plant dwarfness that improve harvest index. A popular notion among plant breeders is that high-yielding... 

Nearly 1.1 million ha of rice were planted in the US in 2012, yielding an average of 8.3 Mg ha-1 for a total production of 9.0 Tg of rice prior to milling, compared to 23 million ha planted with an average yield of 3.1 Mg ha-1 for a total of 62 Tg of wheat production, and over 39 million ha of planted maize with average yields of 7.7 Mg ha-1 for a total production of 274 Tg [11].

The most widely studied therapeutic proteins produced in plants include monoclonal antibodies for passive immunotherapy and antigens for use as oral vaccines [40]. Antibodies against dental caries, rheumatoid arthritis, cholera, E. coli diarrhea, malaria, certain cancers, Norwalk virus, HIV, rhinovirus, influenza, hepatitis B virus and herpes simplex virus have been produced in transgenic plants. However, the anti-Streptococcus mutans secretory antibody for the prevention of dental caries is the only plant-derived antibody currently in Phase II clinical trials [40]. Until recently, most antibodies were expressed in tobacco, potato, alfalfa, soybean, rice and wheat [9], It has been estimated that for every 170 tons of harvested tobacco, 100 tons represents harvested leaves. A single hectare could thus yield 50 kg of secretory IgA [3, 41]. Furthermore, it has been estimated that the cost of antibody production in plants is half that in transgenic animals and 20 times lower than in mammalian cell cul-... 

Rice is the most important staple food crop in the world and has also emerged as the model cereal species (it is the only terrestrial plant other than Arabidopsis thaliana to benefit from a completed genome sequence, and extensive EST resources are also available). Rice has a lower annual grain yield than maize (6600 kg ha-1) and the grain has a lower protein content (8%), but like maize it is easy to transform and manipulate in the laboratory, a range of useful expression cassettes have been devel-...
