Dear Editor The newly developed CRISPR/Cas9-mediated base editing technology with cytosine deaminase is capable of precisely and efficiently introducing point mutations at the target genomic locus, which does not requ...
Fast-neutron (FN) irradiation has been used to create mutagen- ized collections of many plant species (Bolon et al., 2014), FN- induced mutagenesis has clear advantages: it is an efficient means of saturating the...

Protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a fundamental process in plant cells that is vulnerable to many environmental stresses. When unfolded or misfolded proteins accumulate in the ER, the well-conserv...
Lateral roots are important to plants for the uptake of nutrients and water. Several members of the Aux/IAA family have been shown to play crucial roles in lateral root development. Here, a member of the rice Aux/IAA ...
Plant roots move through the soil by elongation. This is vital to their ability to anchor the plant and acquire water and minerals from the soil. In order to identify new genes involved in root elongation in rice, we ...
Crown roots are main components of the fibrous root system and important for crops to anchor and absorb water and nutrition. To understand the molecular mechanisms of crown root formation, we isolated a rice mutant de...
As one of the largest gene families, F-box domain proteins have important roles in regulating various devel- opmental processes and stress responses. In this study, we have investigated a rice F-box domain gene, MAIF1...
