Some of these variations have been used as genetic resources to improve rice plants so that they better satisfy human needs. Phenotypic variations are considered to be genetically controlled by the collective function of a large number of genes on rice genomes However, the genetic bases and biological functions of most of them are still unknown, which has prevented us from wider practical application of rice germplasms. We exploit useful phenotypic variations from a wide range of rice germplasms and clarify the genes involved with biological functions by aid of recent advances in genome information and technology. Also, we try to develop new breeding materials and propose more effective breeding methodologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/nucleus\/IGBe\/\">Link to group homepage<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/english\/research\/ng-hp\/\">Research Summary<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"el_table_fix\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 20%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/up_load_files\/areas\/areas01_pstress\/YAMAMOTO Toshio.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"408\"><\/th>\n<td style=\"width: 80%\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Prof. YAMAMOTO Toshio<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">E-mail: yamamo101040 <span style=\"color: #0000ff\">[at]<\/span> okayama-u.ac.jp<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\">crop breeding, genome, polyploidy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><a class=\"el_linkBtn\" href=\"https:\/\/soran.cc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/html\/24feb29b0cac99e174506e4da22f6611_en.html\">Directory of Researchers<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h5>Development of remote cross breeding in rice via polyploidization<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/up_load_files\/areas\/areas01_pstress\/img_YAMAMOTO.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/up_load_files\/areas\/areas01_pstress\/img_YAMAMOTO.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\"><\/a>For breeding of super rice varieties with useful new genes, it is important to promote allelic exchange in existing cultivars by crossing them with wild or genetically remote cultivars. However, hybrids are rarely obtained from such distant crosses due to multitude of reproductive barriers. Interestingly, we found a fertile tetraploid progeny derived from anther culture of Asian rice cultivar, O. sativa, and African rice cultivar, O. glaberrima. Using genomic and phenotypic analyses, we now aim to clarify mechanisms involved in recovery of seed set in these plants. Furthermore, we hope to establish a novel remote cross breeding strategy in rice that overcomes reproductive barriers by introduction of polyploidization and haploidization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table class=\"el_table_fix\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 20%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/up_load_files\/areas\/areas01_pstress\/NAGAKI Kiyotaka.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"408\"><\/th>\n<td style=\"width: 80%\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Assoc.
