A gene called COLD6 contributes to cold tolerance in rice, potentially offering a pathway to use molecular design to breed a rice variety with higher resistance to cold stress. This work appears ...

Chinese researchers recently uncovered molecular evidence supporting Lamarckism—a long-debated theory from the early 19th century that acquired characteristics can be inherited. The evidence was ...

Rice (Oryza sativaL.), a staple food for over half of the global population, is highly sensitive to low temperatures, particularly during early growth stages, resulting in significant yield losses.

Want a salad that doesn’t taste like a salad? Try this cold noodle recipe topped with shrimp and tangy lime dressing.

Rice is inherently sensitive to low temperatures, which can impair germination, disrupt pollen development and reduce grain yield. Cold tolerance arises from a coordinated network of sensing, ...

A major global cooling event 4,200 years ago may have led to the evolution of new rice varieties and the spread of rice into both northern and southern Asia, researchers report. The study in Nature ...

“Cold damage is a major challenge in rice production, and identifying key gene modules in signalling pathways is a crucial step in addressing this issue,” says senior study author Kang Chong of the ...
