Aluminum (Al) toxicity poses a significant constraint on field crop yields in acid soils. Zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36) is well-documented for its pivotal role enhancing tolerance to both drought and oxidative stress rice. This study unveils novel function of ZFP36 modulated by abscisic (ABA)-dependent mechanisms, specifically aimed at alleviating Al Under stress, the expression significantly increased through an ABA-dependent pathway. Knocking down heightened sensitivity, while...
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade (MAPKKK-MAPKK-MAPK) plays a critical role in biotic and abiotic stress responses abscisic acid (ABA) signalling. A previous study has shown that the ABA-activated MKK1-MPK1 is essential regulating ABA response tolerance rice. However, specific MAPKKK upstream of signalling remains unknown. Here, we identified MAPKKK28, previously uncharacterized member rice MEKK family, involved responses, including seed germination, root growth, stomatal...
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is the major limiting factor for plant production and crop yield on acid soils. Previous works revealed that ZFP36 played a key role in adaptation to water stress rice blast. Here, we report another function of ZFP36, which associated with detoxification Al through abscisic (ABA)- dependent mechanism, rice. exposure significantly increased expression level an ABA-dependent manner. Knocking down triggered sensitivity, while overexpressing resulted tolerance. Chromatin...
