an Abiotic Stress-Induced Gene of Rice, Plays a Key Role in Drought Tolerance.
Plants (Basel)

Article Synopsis
- Drought stress significantly impacts crop yields, and the WRKY gene family is essential for regulating plant responses to such stressors.
- A newly identified WRKY member was analyzed through transgenic plant lines, showing it enhances drought tolerance in rice and is expressed in various tissues, responding to abiotic stresses and ABA.
- Overexpressing this WRKY gene improved the plant's ability to manage osmotic pressure, tolerated oxidative stress, and retained water better, indicating its potential for improving drought resilience in rice crops.
Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles subjected to fission and fusion events. During mitosis, mitochondrial fission ensures equal distribution of mitochondria to daughter cells. If and how this process can actively drive mitotic progression remains largely unknown.

Although plant PsbR is thought to play important roles in photosynthesis, little is known about the contribution of plant PsbR to abiotic stress resistance.
