Phenotypic plasticity of plants in response to environmental changes is important for adapting to changing climate. Less attention has been paid to exploring the advantages of phenotypic plasticity in resource-rich environments to enhance the productivity of agricultural crops. Here, we examined genetic variation in phenotypic plasticity in indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) across two diverse panels: (i) a Phenomics of Rice Adaptation and Yield (PRAY) population comprising 301 accessions and (ii) a Multi-parent-Advanced-Generation-Inter-Cross (MAGIC) indica population comprising 151 accessions. Altered planting density was used as a proxy for elevated atmospheric CO2 response. Low planting density significantly increased panicle weight per plant compared with normal density, and the magnitude of the increase ranged from 1.10 to 2.78 times among accessions for the PRAY population and from 1.05 to 2.45 times for the MAGIC population. Genome-wide-association studies revealed three Environment

The rising atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) can increase crop productivity, but there are likely to be intraspecific variations in the response. To meet future world food demand, screening for genotypes with high [CO2] responsiveness will be a useful option, but there is no criterion for high [CO2] responsiveness. We hypothesized that the Finlay-Wilkinson regression coefficient (for the relationship between a genotype’s yield versus the mean yield of all genotypes in a specific environment) could serve as a pre-screening criterion for identifying genotypes that respond strongly to elevated [CO2]. We collected datasets on the yield of six rice and 10 soybean genotypes along environmental gradients and compared their responsiveness to elevated [CO2] based on the regression coefficients (i.e., the increases of yield per 100 µmol mol–1 [CO2]) identified in previous reports. We found significant positive correlations between the coefficients and the responsiveness of yield to elevated

We tested whether exposing rice plants to abiotic stress (salt or shade) during vegetative growth affects the chilling tolerance of reproductive organs, which is one of the most important traits for rice growing in a cool climate; we used two rice cultivars with different tolerance in two growing seasons. We divided the vegetative growth into three phases to clarify the most sensitive period: 7 to 22 days after transplanting (DAT), 23 to 38 DAT, and 39 to 54 DAT. Chilling tolerance of the pre-stressed plants was based on the male sterility induced by low temperatures. Shade and salt stress during all three vegetative growth phases significantly reduced stomatal conductance. Shade decreased the specific leaf weight and the leaf sugar and starch contents, but salt had no significant effect, despite causing leaf damage. Low temperatures during the reproductive stage induced spikelet sterility in all plants, but the magnitude was greater in the salt- and shade-stressed plants of both culti

The present study compared the current food production capacity of 14 major crops in Japan, and also estimated the
potential ability for producing food for calories in all paddy fields and upland fields. The production of the 14 crops per capita
per day on a calorie basis in Japan was 2497 kcal in 1961 and decreased to 795 kcal in 2010. This level was 26% of the world
average, and 37% of the African average. Under the condition where all fields were used for 3 high yielding crops (rice, potato
and sweetpotato) to increase the productivity, the production is estimated to increase toward 1626 kcal, but this is still 76% of the
African average. Four scenarios were tested, i.e.,; agricultural land area will decrease and yield will not increase (scenario 1),
agricultural land area will be kept at the present level but yield will not increase (scenario 2), agricultural land area will be kept at
the present level and yield will increase (scenario 3), and the other conditions are the same as w
