A semidwarf phenotype of barley uzu results from a nucleotide substitution in the gene encoding a putative brassinosteroid receptor.
Makiko Chono,Ichiro Honda,Haruko Zeniya,Koichi Yoneyama,Daisuke Saisho,Kazuyoshi Takeda,Suguru Takatsuto,Tsuguhiro Hoshino,Yoshiaki Watanabe +8 more
TL;DR: The uzu gene is being introduced into all hull-less barley cultivars in Japan as an effective dwarf gene for practical use, and this is the first report about an agronomically important mutation related to BRs.

Field studies on the regulation of abscisic acid content and germinability during grain development of barley: molecular and chemical analysis of pre-harvest sprouting
Makiko Chono,Ichiro Honda,Shoko Shinoda,Tetsuo Kushiro,Yuji Kamiya,Eiji Nambara,Naoto Kawakami,Shigenobu Kaneko,Yoshiaki Watanabe +8 more
TL;DR: Investigating whether the regulation of abscisic acid content was related to germinability during grain development revealed that HvNCED2 is responsible for a significant increase in ABA levels during the early to middle stages of grain development, and HvCYP707A1 isresponsible for a rapid decrease in A BA level thereafter.

Distribution of photoperiod-insensitive alleles Ppd-B1a and Ppd-D1a and their effect on heading time in Japanese wheat cultivars
Masako Seki,Makiko Chono,Hitoshi Matsunaka,Masaya Fujita,Shunsuke Oda,Katashi Kubo,Chikako Kiribuchi-Otobe,Hisayo Kojima,Hidetaka Nishida,Kenji Kato +9 more
TL;DR: Early-maturity breeding in Japan is believed to be accelerated by the introduction of the PPD-B1a allele into medium-heading cultivars carrying Ppd-D1a, which is inherited from ‘Shiroboro 21’ by early-heading Chugoku lines bred at the ChUGoku Agriculture Experimental Station.

Spontaneous brassinolide-insensitive barley mutants 'uzu' adapted to East Asia
TL;DR: The morphological and physiological similarities of barley uzu gene to rice dwarf mutant, d61 are found and the phylogeny of ‘uzu’ landraces in East Asia is discussed.

Cadmium Concentration in Grains of Japanese Wheat Cultivars : Genotypic Difference and Relationship with Agronomic Characteristics
Katashi Kubo,Yoshiaki Watanabe,Atsushi Oyanagi,Shigenobu Kaneko,Makiko Chono,Hitoshi Matsunaka,Masako Seki,Masaya Fujita +7 more
TL;DR: Cultivars originating from northern Japan may be useful genetic resources to develop cultivars with a low Cd concentration in grain to be grown in the areas where Cd accumulation in wheat grain is a problem.
