...-ISOASPARTYL METHYLTRANSFERASE (PIMT), an enzyme that repairs abnormal isoaspartyl (isoAsp) residues in proteins, acts as a key player that governs seed desiccation tolerance to orthodox seeds but is ineffective in recalcitrant seeds. We observe that, unlike the orthodox seed of Oryza sativa , desiccation...

... modifiers – and transcription factors during priming and outgrowth of rice (Oryza sativa) crown root primordia. Functional analyses of rice transcription factors from WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX and PLETHORA gene families reveal their non-redundant and species-specific roles in determining the root...

... to understand its role in monocots, such as rice (Oryza sativa) and other cereals of agronomic importance. Here, we used primarily a CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing approach to characterize the roles of a key family of transcription factors, the type-B response regulators (RRs), in cytokinin signaling in rice. Results...

... interactions function as a regulator for JA signaling during flower and root development. Our study therefore expands our understanding of how the JAZ degron functions, and provides the means to change the sensitivity and specificity of JA signaling in rice. The variety 9522 (Oryza   sativa L. ssp...
