Molecular Basis Of Cold-Induced Pollen Sterility In Rice
Published 2005-10-26We have used two approaches to study the molecular basis of cold-induced pollen sterility in rice. Firstly, we studied the effect of cold on sugar metabolism in rice anthers, with the intention to identify genes that are ...Open AccessReport, Research -
Cold Physiology At The Plant Level
Published 2005-01-01Low night temperatures during late January and early February coinciding with early pollen microspore (EPM) development of rice (Oryza sativa) is a major factor limiting productivity in the Riverina region of New South ...Open AccessReport, Research -
