The lncRNA-encoded micropeptide ANCHOR promotes lateral root growth and drought tolerance in rice.
Lateral roots (LRs) are important components of plant root systems, determining the robustness of root system architecture and influencing water uptake efficiency. Enhancing the phenotypic plasticity of LRs is key to improving crop production under fluctuating environmental conditions. In this study, we identified ANCH...
