Laccase is a copper-containing polyphenol oxidase found in different organisms. The
multigene family that encodes laccases is widely distributed in plant genomes. Plant …

Despite evidence from previous case studies showing that agronomic traits partially
determine the resulting yield of different rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties, it remains unclear …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs which regulate various functions related to
growth, development, and stress responses in plants and animals. Rice, Oryza sativa, is one …

Domestication of rice (Oryza sativa) included conversion of perennial wild species with few
seeds to short plants that produced abundant seeds. Most domestication-associated …

Background Water stress seriously constrains plant growth and yield. Long non-coding
RNAs (lncRNAs) serve as versatile regulators in various biological regulatory processes. To …

Main conclusion Five laccase genes are potentially involved in developmental lignification
in the model C4 grass Setaria viridis and their different tissue specificities suggest …

MicroRNAs contribute to the adaptation of plants to varying environmental conditions by
affecting systemic mineral nutrient homeostasis. Copper and iron deficiencies …

Laccases (LACs) are versatile enzymes that catalyze oxidation of a wide range of
substrates, thereby functioning in regulation of plant developmental processes and stress …

Seed abortion is a common phenomenon in woody plants, especially in rare and
endangered species. Serious seed abortion occurs in the dove tree and largely restricts its …

Increasing grain yield is a major goal of breeders due to the rising global demand for food.
We previously reported that the miR397–LACCASE (OsLAC) module regulates …
