Grain size and weight are important determinants of crop yield. Although the ubiquitin pathway has been implicated in the grain development in rice (Oryza sativa), the underlying genetic and molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we report that the plant U-box E3 ubiquitin ligase OsPUB33 interferes with the OsNAC120-BG1 module to control rice grain development.

- Histone deacetylase OsHDA716 and ubiquitin ligase OsPUB75 form a complex that regulates the drought response in rice by targeting the bZIP transcription factor OsbZIP46 for deacetylation and degradation.
- OsHDA716 decreases drought tolerance by inhibiting OsbZIP46’s transcriptional activity, which is critical for abscisic acid (ABA) signaling and drought response.
- The interaction between OsHDA716 and OsbZIP46 represents a regulatory mechanism where they inhibit each other's expression, highlighting the complex interplay between chromatin regulators and transcription factors that fine-tunes plant stress responses.
