Contemporary climatic stress seriously affects rice production. Unfortunately, long-term domestication and improvement modified the phytohormones network to achieve production needs of cultivated rice, thus leading a decrease in adaptation. Here, we identify 14-3-3 protein-coding gene OsGF14h weedy that confers anaerobic germination seedling development tolerance. acts as signal switch balance ABA signaling GA biosynthesis by interacting with transcription factors OsHOX3 OsVP1, thereby...

Abstract Flowering time is one of the most important agronomic traits affecting adaptation and yield rice (Oryza sativa). Heading date 1 (Hd1) a key factor in photoperiodic control flowering time. In this study, two basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors, Hd1 Binding Protein (HBP1) Partner HBP1 (POH1) were identified as transcriptional regulators Hd1. We generated knockout mutants ectopically expressed transgenic lines bHLH factors used these to investigate roles regulating...

Although recent studies have suggested that the microfilament (MF) cytoskeleton of plant cells participates in response to salt stress, it remains unclear as whether MF actually plays an active role a plant's ability withstand stress. In present study, we report for first time MFs tolerance Arabidopsis thaliana. Our experiments revealed seedlings treated with 150 mm NaCl maintained assembly and bundle formation, whereas treatment 250 initially induced but subsequently caused disassembly. A...

Similar to other eukaryotes, splicing is emerging as an important process affecting development and stress tolerance in plants. Ski-interacting protein (SKIP), a factor, essential for circadian clock function abiotic tolerance; however, the mechanisms whereby it regulates flowering time are unknown. In this study, we found that SKIP required of serrated leaves early (SEF) pre-messenger RNA (mRNA), which encodes component ATP-dependent SWR1 chromatin remodeling complex (SWR1-C). Defects SEF...

Abstract Tiller angle is a key factor determining rice plant architecture, planting density, light interception, photosynthetic efficiency, disease resistance and grain yield. However, the mechanisms underlying tiller control are far from clear. In this study, we identified mutant, termed bta1-1, with an enlarged throughout its life cycle. A detailed analysis reveals that BTA1 has multiple functions because angle, shoot gravitropism tolerance to drought stress changed in bta1-1 plants....

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays key roles in plant development and responses to abiotic stresses. A wide number of transcriptional posttranslational regulatory mechanisms ABA signaling are known; however, less is known about the alternative splicing. In this work, we found that SKIP, a splicing factor, positively regulates signaling. SKIP binds pre-mRNA signaling-related genes, such as PYL7, PYL8, ABI1, HAB1 ABI5, regulate their The precursor mRNA several PYL receptors, PP2C phosphatases ABF...

Rice breeders are now developing new varieties with semi-high or even high plant height to further increase the grain yield, and problem of lodging has re-appeared. We identified a major quantitative trait locus (QTL), qSCM4, for resistance by using an F2 segregant population recombinant self-incompatible line from cross between Shennong265 (SN265) Lijiangxintuanheigu (LTH) after multiple years environments. Then, residual heterozygous derived which consisted 1781 individual plants, BC3F2...

Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a cold-sensitive species that often faces cold stress, which adversely affects yield productivity and quality. However, the genetic basis for low-temperature adaptation in rice remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate 2 functional polymorphisms O. SEC13 Homolog 1 (OsSEH1), encoding WD40-repeat nucleoporin, between subspecies japonica indica rice, may have facilitated rice. We show OsSEH1 of variety expressed OsSEH1MSD plants (transgenic line overexpressing...

Grain filling influences grain size and quality in cereal crops. The molecular mechanisms that regulate endosperm development remain elusive. In this study, we characterized a filling-defective width mutant, fgw1, whose mutation increased rice seed mainly via cell division expansion grains. Sucrose contents were higher but starch lower the fgw1 mutant during grain-filling stage, resulting inferior of opaque, white appearance with loosely packed granules. Map-based cloning revealed FGW1...

Mesocotyl elongation in rice is essential for seedling emergence. Our previous screening identified two weedy accessions (Oryza sativa f. spontanea L.) (WR04-6 and WR04-43) were with unusually long mesocotyl. In this study, using cultivar (Nipponbare, Oryza L., subspecies temperate japonica) as a control, we found that at the middle end of mesocotyl elongation, predominant cortical microtubules (CMTs) are transversely oriented related to cell while, cultivated had oblique MT arrays....
