Description

Gang Li and co-authors show, in 2023 work, that a sleep-stage gene steers starch build in rice grains, most of all in heat. Heat speeds grain fill and oft leaves chalky, light grains, yet the gears were unknown. The gene in view wakes with heat and sits high in the grain's food store.

Plants with the gene cut out bore odd starch lumps, chalky hearts, and fewer, lighter grains. Their starch mix shifted: short chains fell, long chains rose, and total starch, protein, and fat all sank. Heat made each gap worse. The cut plants also died more in drought, with rust marks high. The team offers the gene for grain grade work.
