L2201 Napier Grass: A Cold-Resilient Line for Sustainable Bioenergy and Carbon Sequestration
This work addresses a fundamental barrier in biomass production: the seasonal limitation of C4 grasses like Napier due to cold sensitivity. L2201 breaks through this constraint, extending productivity into cooler months, demonstrated by its...
Maternal effect contributes to grain-filling defects of Ospho1;2 rice mutants
In seeds, filial and maternal tissues are symplastically isolated. Nutrient delivery through plasma membrane-localized transporters at the junction of filial and maternal tissues is indispensable for sustaining endosperm and embryo developm...
Complex Regulation of Two Target Genes Encoding SPX-MFS Proteins by Rice miR827 in Response to Phosphate Starvation
Here we report on the characterization of rice osa-miR827 and its two target genes, OsSPX-MFS1 and OsSPX-MFS2, which encode SPX-MFS proteins predicted to be implicated in phosphate (Pi) sensing or transport. We first show by Northern blot a...
