OsACL-A2 negatively regulates cell death and disease resistance in rice
January 09th,2019
Plants have developed hypersensitive responses (HR), which are characterized by programmed cell death (PCD) of cells around the infection site, to protect them from pathogen attack. To better understand the roles of cell death in immune responses, many le...

FZP determines Grain Size and Sterile Lemma Fate in Rice
November 19th,2018
Three major components, panicle number per plant, grain number per panicle, and grain weight, determine rice yield. Grain size is an important agronomic trait that determines grain weight, but the regulatory mechanisms that control grain size are still la...
