Discovery of a new fragrance allele and the development of functional markers for the breeding of fragrant rice varieties (2008, background): “This semi-dwarf gene has been utilized to breed a series of IR rice varieties (Sasaki et al. 2002).”
Molecular mechanisms of polyploidy and hybrid vigor (2010, background): “The flowering time is controlled by a few loci in inbreeding Arabidopsis and rice [55-58].”
Advances in Transgenic Rice Biotechnology (2007, background): “Later, Sasaki et al . (2002) identified gene underlying SD1 locus, responsible for dwarfism and high grain yield, as GA oxidase ( GA20ox-2 ).”
An Overview of Gibberellin Metabolism Enzyme Genes and Their Related Mutants in Rice1[w] (2004, methodology): “…plants (including Arabidopsis, lettuce [Lactuca sativa], pea [Pisum sativum], tomato [Lycopersicon esculentum], and rice) were used as probes to screen in silico all available rice DNA databases (Feng et al., 2002; Goff et al., 2002; Sasaki et al., 2002b; Yu et al., 2002; Kikuchi et al., 2003).”
Loss-of-function of a Rice Gibberellin Biosynthetic Gene, GA20 oxidase (GA20ox-2), Led to the Rice ‘Green Revolution’ (2002, background): “Mapping analysis revealed that GA20ox-2 was located on the long arm of chromosome 1, tightly linked to the sd1 locus (Sasaki et al. 2002).”
Natural variations and genome-wide association studies in crop plants. (2014, background): “For disease resistance and grain quality, the well-characterized major QTLs or genes can be screened in the elite varieties, followed by fine tuning through marker-assisted selection (3, 36, 74, 93, 106, 140).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “In contrast to the recessive semi-dwarf sd-1 Green Revolution allele in rice, that is a loss-of-function mutation in one of the major GA biosynthetic genes (GA 20-oxidase2 or GA20ox2) (Monna et al., 2002; Sasaki et al., 2002; Spielmeyer et al., 2002), the wheat reduced height Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b Gre”
