The OsRFP1-OsMYB61 module regulates rice drought tolerance by modulating the transcription of ABA- and drought-responsive genes.
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a major food crop worldwide. With the acceleration of global warming, drought is becoming one of the major limitations for rice productivity. In plants, MYB transcription factors (TF) play pivotal roles in mediating drought stress tolerance. The rice OsMYB61 encodes an R2R3-MYB protein. OsMYB6...
