Photoperiod and gravistimulation-associated Tiller Angle Control 1 modulates dynamic changes in rice plant architecture

OsCPK12 phosphorylates OsCATA and OsCATC to regulate H2O2 homeostasis and improve oxidative stress tolerance in rice

“…The protein stability of OsCATB and OsCATC can also change depending on their partners. For example, APIP6 promotes the degradation of OsCATC to attenuate the efficiency of OsCATC-mediated H 2 O 2 scavenging ( You et al., 2022 ); rice ENHANCED DISEASE SUSCEPTIBILITY 1 (OsEDS1) interacts with and stabilizes OsCATC to improve OsCATC-mediated H 2 O 2 scavenging ability ( Liao et al., 2023 ); and SEMI-ROLLED LEAF 10 (SRL10) stabilizes OsCATB and enhances CAT activity to regulate leaf morphology and thermotolerance in rice ( Wang et al., 2023a ; 2023b ). We therefore speculated that CPK12 might also alter CAT activity by changing CAT protein stability.…”

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated that CAT not only functions as a key H 2 O 2 scavenging enzyme but also plays an important role in leaf morphology. Mutation of Arabidopsis CAT2 results in hyponastic leaves because of changes in auxin levels ( Gao et al., 2014 ), and loss of OsCATB function in rice results in abaxially rolled flag leaves ( Wang et al., 2023a ; 2023b ). We therefore speculate that OsCATB is mainly involved in development of rice leaf morphology, whereas OsCATA and OsCATC may function directly in the photorespiratory process of rice.…”

“…OsLazy1 encodes a fusion protein that indicates the nucleus and plasma membrane ( Li et al., 2019 ), and OsLazy1 was fused with mCherry to generate mCherry-LA1 as described in Wang et al. (2023a) , 2023b . OsGhd7 has been demonstrated to be a nuclear-localized protein ( Xue et al., 2008 ), and it was fused with mCherry to generate OsGhd7 -mCherry as described in Tu et al.…”

“…(2020) and Wang et al. (2023a) , 2023b . HDEL is an ER-localized signal peptide that was fused to mCherry, resulting in pCAMBIA1300-35S-ER-mCherry-HDEL (Agrisera: AS10-683-25).…”

Exploring Pan-Genomes: An Overview of Resources and Tools for Unraveling Structure, Function, and Evolution of Crop Genes and Genomes

“…Here, we highlight an example of visualizing the pan-gene data for the TILLER ANGLE CONTROL 1 (OsTAC1) transcription factor coding gene from various accessions of cultivated rice O. sativa and other members of Oryza genus at Gramene (https://oryza.gramene.org; accessed on July 20, 2023). OsTAC1 is induced by gravity stimulation and promotes horizontal shoot growth by negatively regulating shoot gravitropism [160]. Thus, it is involved in regulating tiller angle and modulating plant architectural traits of agronomic importance.…”
