Systems Model-Guided Rice Yield Improvements Based on Genes Controlling Source, Sink and Flow.
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology 2018 November 11
A large number of genes related to source, sink and flow have been identified after decades of research in plant genetics. Unfortunately, these genes have not been effectively utilized in modern crop breeding. This perspective paper aims to examine the reasons behind such a phenomenon and propose a strategy to resolve this situation. Specifically, we first systematically survey the currently cloned genes related to source, sink and flow; then we discuss three factors hindering effective application of these identified genes, which include the lack of effective methods to identify limiting or critical steps in a signaling network, the misplacement of emphasis on properties, at the leaf, instead of the whole canopy level, and the non-linear complex interaction between source, sink and flow. Finally, we propose the development of systems models of source, sink and flow, together with detailed simulation of interactions between them and their surrounding environments, to guide effective use the identified elements in modern rice breeding. These systems models will contribute directly to the definition of crop ideotype and also identification of critical features and parameters that limit the yield potential in current cultivars.
