Improving panicle blast resistance and fragrance in a high-quality japonica rice variety through breeding

Frontiers in Plant Science • 2025

Marker-assisted backcrossing introgressed blast-resistance genes (Pigm, Pi-ta) and the aroma gene badh2 into Huruan1212, producing lines with improved panicle blast resistance and fragrance while maintaining high eating and cooking quality.

2025

Influence of genotype and environment on field pea composition and milling traits

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture • 2025

Eight yellow pea genotypes grown across four locations were evaluated for composition and milling performance. Image analysis quantified seed size/shape traits to link genotype-by-environment effects with dehulling, splitting efficiency, and flour yields.

Utilizing X-ray radiography for non-destructive assessment of paddy rice grain quality traits
Multi-institutional collaboration (Fraunhofer IIS + collaborators)
2025

Utilizing X-ray radiography for non-destructive assessment of paddy rice grain quality traits

Plant Methods • 2025

A proof-of-concept workflow that uses single 2D X-ray radiographs of whole paddy rice grains to non-destructively infer chaffiness, chalky rice kernel percentage (CRK%), and head rice recovery percentage (HRR%).

36-year study reveals stability of a wild wheat population across microhabitats

bioRxiv (preprint) • 2022

A long-term study genotyped and tracked a wild wheat population over 36 years, finding stable genetic clustering by ecological microhabitats and evidence consistent with fine-scale local adaptation.
