A gapless genome assembly of a Japonica variety ‘BD8’ provides insights into rice salt tolerance
The high-quality BD8 genome assembly will serve as a critical resource for rice functional genomics and genomics-driven molecular breeding. The integration of BD8's genome with transcriptomic data highlights the amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism pathway as a key target for improving salt tolerance in rice breeding programs.
