Heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins are key regulators of a multitude of signaling pathways
in all eukaryotes. Although the core G-protein components and their basic biochemistries …

The simultaneous improvement of grain quality and yield of cereal crops is a major
challenge for modern agriculture. Here we show that a rice grain yield quantitative trait locus …

Heterotrimeric G-protein-mediated signaling is a key mechanism to transduce a multitude of
endogenous and environmental signals in diverse organisms. The scope and expectations …

Auxin is an important phytohormone which mediates diverse development processes in
plants. Published research has demonstrated that auxin induces seed dormancy. However …

The domestication of tomato has led to striking variations in fruit morphology. Here, we show
a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to understand the development of the fruit tip and …

Heterotrimeric G proteins, which consist of Gα, Gβ and Gγ subunits, function as molecular
switches that regulate a wide range of developmental processes in plants. In this study, we …

G-proteins are universal signal transducers mediating many cellular responses. Plant G-
protein signaling has been modeled on the well-established animal paradigm but …

As sessile organisms, plants exhibit extraordinary plasticity and have evolved sophisticated
mechanisms to adapt and mitigate the adverse effects of environmental fluctuations …

The vascular plant-specific, cysteine-rich type III Gγ proteins, which are integral components
of the heterotrimeric G-protein complex, play crucial roles in regulating a multitude of plant …

Main conclusion The present study provides evidence of a unique function of RGG1 in
providing salinity stress tolerance in transgenic rice without affecting yield. It also provides a …
