Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Crosses between Koshihikari and Kasalath identified quantitative trait loci controlling rice regeneration ability.
- Mechanism Lower NiR expression in Koshihikari than Kasalath contributes to its poor regeneration ability.
- Mechanism NiR specific activity contributes to the poor regeneration ability of Koshihikari.
- Method / resource NiR used as a selection marker enabled selective foreign-gene transformation into rice without exogenous marker genes.
- Mechanism The results indicate nitrate assimilation is important for rice regeneration.
