Genetic Diversity, Rather than Cultivar Type, Determines Relative Grain Cd Accumulation in Hybrid Rice
Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic element, and rice is known to be a leading source of dietary Cd for people who consume rice as their main caloric resource. Hybrid rice has dominated rice production in southern China and has been adopted worldwide. The characteristics of high yield heterosis of rice hybrids makes the public think intuitively that the hybrid rice accumulates more Cd in grain than do inbr...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity of Rice Grain Quality
Rice (Oryza spp.) is one of the most important food crops in the world, being planted on almost 11% of the Earth’s cultivated land area over a wide number of ecosystems (Khush, 2005; Maclean et al., 2002). Two species, Oryza sativa and O. glaberrima, are cultivated while other species are wild. Human selection and environmental factors have contributed to the genetic diversity in rice, particul...
متن کاملPhysiological, genetic, and molecular characterization of a high-Cd-accumulating rice cultivar, Jarjan.
Cadmium (Cd) in rice is a major source of Cd intake for people on a staple rice diet. The mechanisms underlying Cd accumulation in rice plant are still poorly understood. Here, we characterized the physiology and genetics of Cd transport in a high-Cd-accumulating cultivar (Jarjan) of rice (Oryza sativa). Jarjan showed 5- to 34-fold higher Cd accumulation in the shoots and grains than the cultiv...
متن کاملPolygyny can increase rather than decrease genetic diversity contributed by males relative to females: evidence from red deer.
Polygyny is expected to erode genetic variability by reducing the diversity of genetic contribution of males to the next generation, although empirical evidence shows that genetic variability in polygynous populations is not lost as rapidly as expected. We used microsatellite markers to study the genetic variability transmitted by mothers and fathers to offspring during a reproductive season in...
متن کاملLeukocyte, Rather than Tumor-produced SPARC, Determines Stroma and Collagen Type IV Deposition in Mammary Carcinoma
Secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), also known as osteonectin or BM-40, is a Ca2+-binding matricellular glycoprotein involved in development, wound healing, and neoplasia. However, the role of SPARC in tumors is ill defined mostly because it is expressed by both tumor and stromal cells, especially inflammatory cells. We analyzed the respective roles of host- and tumor-derived...
