Plants, as sessile organisms, have limited means to cope with environmental changes.
Consequently, they have developed complex regulatory systems to ameliorate abiotic …

Improvement of chilling tolerance is a major target in rice breeding. The signaling pathways
regulating chilling consist of complex networks, including key transcription factors and their …

Plants are unable to physically escape environmental constraints and have, therefore,
evolved a range of molecular and physiological mechanisms to maximize survival in an ever …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a cold-sensitive species that often faces cold stress, which
adversely affects yield productivity and quality. However, the genetic basis for low …

E3 ubiquitin ligases are involved in a variety of physiological processes. This study
demonstrated the function of a previously unknown rice RING finger E3 ligase, Oryza sativa …

Plants are sessile and unable to avoid environmental stresses, such as drought, high
temperature, and high salinity, which often limit the overall plant growth. Plants have evolved …

Key message OsHIRP1 is an E3 ligase that acts as a positive regulator in the plant response
to heat stress, thus providing important information relating to adaptation and regulation …

Zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) are a large family that play important roles in various biological
processes, such as signal transduction, RNA binding, morphogenesis, transcriptional …

Rice is a chilling-sensitive plant, and extremely low temperatures seriously decrease rice
production. Several genes involved in chilling stress have been reported in rice; however …

Abiotic stresses may result in significant losses in rice grain productivity. Protein regulation
by the ubiquitin/proteasome system has been studied as a target mechanism to optimize …
