Pyramiding elite alleles of the genetically linked OsNRAMP5 and OsHMA3 confers low Cd accumulation in rice grains without compromising stress tolerance

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: alleles into the commercial rice cultivar Wushansimiao markedly reduced Cd concentrations in brown rice grown in Cd-contaminated fields without incurring a yield penalty, even under combined heat and low-Mn stress. Thus, our findings provide mechanistic insights into how low-Cd accumulation can be balanced with stress resilience and offer a promising strategy for developing rice cultivars with low-Cd grains and broad environmental adaptability.
