Plants, like other eukaryotes, rely on proteolysis to control the abundance of key regulatory
proteins and enzymes. Strikingly, genome-wide studies have revealed that the ubiquitin-26S …

The posttranslational addition of ubiquitin (Ub) helps control the half-life, localization, and
action of many intracellular plant proteins. A primary function is the degradation of …

Rhizoctonia solani is a widely distributed phytopathogen that causes banded leaf and
sheath blight in maize and sheath blight in rice. Here, we identified an F-box protein …

A high-density haplotype map recently enabled a genome-wide association study (GWAS)
in a population of indica subspecies of Chinese rice landraces. Here we extend this …

We investigated 151 non-redundant NAC genes in rice and 117 in Arabidopsis. A complete
overview of this gene family in rice is presented, including gene structures, phylogenies …

High-salinity, drought, and low temperature are three common environmental stress factors
that seriously influence plant growth and development worldwide. Recently, microRNAs …

Plants capture solar energy and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) through photosynthesis,
which is the primary component of crop yield, and needs to be increased considerably to …

Submergence and drought are major constraints to rice (Oryza sativa) production in rain-fed
farmlands, both of which can occur sequentially during a single crop cycle. SUB1A, an ERF …

The basic leucine (Leu) zipper (bZIP) proteins compose a family of transcriptional regulators
present exclusively in eukaryotes. The bZIP proteins characteristically harbor a bZIP domain …

OsbZIP46 is one member of the third subfamily of bZIP transcription factors in rice (Oryza
sativa). It has high sequence similarity to ABA-responsive element binding factor …
