    Rice ratooning is a resource-efficient and environmental-friendly rice planting system, which is of great significance for stabilizing the rice planting area and ensuring national food security. In recent years, the mechanized rice ratooning system has developed rapidly in China, with a planting area of over 1 million hm2 and an annual yield as high as 15 t/hm2. More importantly, there is a great potential to further expand the planting area of mechanized ratoon rice in China. However, the yield loss and reduction in milling quality in the ratoon crop due to rolling damage of stubble during the mechanical harvesting of the main crop remain the main constraints for the further expansion of mechanized ratoon rice. This paper introduced the characteristics of yield and quality formation in the mechanized rice ratooning system and summarized the research progresses of the cultivation techniques for yield and quality improvement. Policy intervention was suggested for the sustainable development of ratoon rice production in China.

    At present, China is vigorously developing and utilizing coastal beaches to promote rice production. The rice production along the coastal beach is limited by freshwater resources and water conservancy infrastructure, which resulted in salinity-drought combined stress and seriously restricts the realization of the goal of a high and stable yield of rice in coastal beaches. The root system is the primary organ for plants to perceive salinity damage and drought stress, which is also the most important and direct damaged part. A comprehensive understanding of the effects of salinity damage, drought stress, and their combined stress on rice root morphology and physiology and their internal relationship with yield formation can provide scientific support for high-yield rice cultivation in coastal beaches. This paper summarized the effects of salinity damage, drought stress, and their combined stress on the morphological structure, physiological activity, and yield formation of rice roots, expounded the mechanism of their effects on rice root growth and yield formation from the aspects of osmotic regulation, ion balance, photosynthesis, antioxidant enzyme system, and endogenous hormones, and discussed the regulatory measures to alleviate rice salinity damage and drought stress. Finally, some suggestions were put forward for further research on the effects of salinity-drought combined stress on rice root growth and yield formation in the future.

    In order to clarify the changes in the production pattern of China's rice dominant production areas and the current status of rice fertilization research, the publication, type, project distribution, research institutions, planting area, yield changes and fertilizer dosage of rice production and fertilization research in China were integrated and analyzed using the CNKI database, the China Rural Statistical Yearbook and the 2021 National Scientific Fertilization Guidelines as information sources. The results showed that, from 2011 to 2021, the rice planting area in China was in a state of dynamic equilibrium for the rest of the years, except for the fluctuations in 2017 and 2019, and the total rice yield and yield fluctuated to varying degrees and showed a trend of steady yield increase. The middle reaches of the Yangtze River Basin have the largest annual rice planting area and the highest annual yield; The rice yields were highest in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin, with an average of 8 142.9 kg/hm2. Meta-analysis showed that optimizing rice fertilization mode, weight loss and efficiency improvement and improving cultivation technology were still the focus of national, social and academic attention. From 2013 to 2021, the number of published literature on rice yield and fertilization research in China has remained at more than 700 per year, reaching 922 in 2019, and the overall number of articles showed a downward trend after a slow rise. Among them, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River Basin has published the most relevant literature, accounting for 33.0% of the national literature; The types of published literature was mainly focus on technology application. Based on the data of rice yield and fertilization from 2011 to 2021, it is found that at the same rice yield level, there is still a certain difference between the amount of fertilizer applied in the dominant rice producing areas and the amount of fertilizer recommended by the state, among which the amount of potassium fertilizer applied in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin and the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer applied in the southeast coastal area have great potential for reduction, and the phenomenon of blind application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers by some farmers in other main rice producing areas still exists. Therefore, each region should still apply chemical fertilizers scientifically and rationally according to local conditions.

    Japonica rice is one of the main grain crops in China, and an important pillar of national food security, the perennial planting area of about 9 million hectares. Seeds are the “chips” of agriculture and the source of food. In recent years, japonica rice production in China has made great development in increasing grain production and increasing income and enriching grain rations. However, the current breeding level is still relatively lagging behind, mainly in the transition stage from 2.0 to 3.0, with long breeding cycle and low efficiency. The genetic diversity of germplasm resources is not enough and the genetic basis is relatively narrow. The problem of original technology being controlled by others is still widespread. Based on the thinking of various aspects of current japonica rice breeding and the main problems, the following breeding ideas were put forward in this paper: in-depth exploration of original functional genes, breakthrough of key core breeding techniques, creation of excellent new germplasm resources, development of major specific new varieties, in order to bring beneficial inspiration to the future japonica rice breeding work, help the revitalization of japonica rice industry, and stabilize the rice bowl in China.

    This article reviewed the research progress in the field of rice cultivation in China in 2020 to 2022. It covers several hot research areas, including unmanned smart cultivation of rice, high-quality and high-yield green cultivation of rice, mechanized cultivation of regenerative rice, diversified and multi-seasonal planting in rice fields, integrated ecological cultivation and breeding in rice paddies, as well as low-carbon emission rice cultivation, and discussed the research difference in China and abroad, provided an outlook on the future development of the discipline in China. In recent 3 years, unmanned aerial seeding technology, unmanned land preparation technology, precision unmanned machine planting technology, precision unmanned fertilization technology, and intelligent remote control irrigation technology have been developed. Several new green and high-yield cultivation modes, such as aerobic rice cultivation technology, rice deep-side fertilization technology, rice dense planting and reduced nitrogen cultivation technology, rice double-cropping and direct-seeding technology, have been proposed, which have eased the contradiction between high yield and high efficiency, high yield and high quality, and land use and soil conservation, and coordinated the relationship between environmental factors and high yield, high quality, and safety. The goal of reducing the use of pesticides and fertilizers, saving water, resisting drought, and producing high-quality and green crops has been achieved. In the field of regenerated rice technology, the mechanical harvesting and ratoon rice high-yield and efficient cultivation technology model and the “four prevention and one increase” high-yield and efficient cultivation technology system for ratoon rice system have been established. Cultivation techniques such as selecting varieties with low stubble for mechanical harvesting and high stubble for manual harvesting, timely early sowing, furrow irrigation, secondary field baking, repeated application of sprouting-promoting fertilizer, and appropriate stubble height have been proposed. A diversified and efficient planting mode has been constructed, forming a new situation of “hierarchical planting, diversified crop matching, and efficient land use.” In the main rice-growing areas, new ecological rice-farming models such as rice-prawn, rice-turtle, rice-eel, and rice-crab have been explored and developed based on local conditions, promoting traditional rice-fish farming to a new stage of “promoting rice farming with fishing, stabilizing grain production and increasing efficiency, ensuring quality and safety, and protecting the ecological environment.” Selecting high-yielding and low-emission rice varieties and developing multiple related cultivation technologies can effectively reduce CH4 emissions from paddy fields.

    Phosphorus (P) is an indispensable element for plant growth. Although the total P content in soil is rich, the available P content, which can be directly absorbed and utilized by plants, is very low. Traditional methods to increase crop yield in phosphorus deficient is by applying P fertilizer. However, the phosphorus applied to the soil is not only easily to be fixed by soil, but also easily transformed into organic P that is difficult for plants to absorb directly, so as to reduce the P utilization rate by plants and cause environmental pollution. Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria can transform insoluble P in soil into available P that can be directly absorbed by plants, and improve the absorption and utilization rate of P by plants. The action mechanism of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria is complex, and existing various kinds of bacteria and existing many influencing factors. This paper mainly reviewed the research progress of phosphorus solubilizing mechanism of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria and summarized the application of phosphorus-solubating bacteria in rice production. It provided a theoretical basis for improving the utilization efficiency of insoluble phosphorus in paddy soil.

    The dormancy and germination of rice seeds are important agronomic traits to maintain rice yield and quality. Before rice seed harvest, lower dormancy levels easily cause pre-harvest sprouting, resulting in reduced yield and quality. On the other hand, the high degree of dormancy usually leads to a low germination rate and the irregular emergence of rice seeds, which seriously restricts rice's high and stable yield. This paper overall reviewed the research progress of regulation mechanisms of rice seed dormancy and germination in 2020—2023 in China, specifically from the three areas, i.e., plant hormones (abscisic acid, gibberellin, jasmonic acid, auxin, brassinolide, and the cross talk between different hormones), abiotic stress (low temperature stress, salt stress, flooding stress, heavy metal stress, oxidative stress), and pre-harvest sprouting, briefly introduced the research progress abroad, prospected the research trend and direction, and thus aiming to clarify the genetic characteristics and mechanism of seed dormancy and germination, provide a theoretical basis and elite gene resources for the selection of rice varieties with suitable dormancy level.

    Lodging is a common problem in rice production, which not only restricts the high and stable yield as well as fine quality of rice, but also reduces the efficiency of mechanized rice harvesting. This paper reviewed the lodging types of rice, the relationships of lodging with root morphology, culm morphology, culm anatomical structure and chemical composition. Furthermore, the lodging resistance pathways in rice were put forward from four aspects: breeding resistant varieties, optimizing cultivation methods, strengthening field management and applying chemical control technology, and finally the summary and prospects were made.
