Article Synopsis
  • - The enzyme GAPC3 plays a key role in various plant processes but its connection to rice quality traits is not well understood; this study identifies mutations in the gene that improve protein content and nutritional quality in rice.
  • - Mutants exhibit significant increases in protein body size and overall grain protein content, while also showing higher chalkiness and reduced starch levels, which impacts taste and gel consistency.
  • - The findings suggest that GAPC3 mutations influence both the metabolism of proteins and starch in rice and affect how rice seedlings respond to salt stress, providing insights for developing improved, salt-resistant rice varieties.

Article Synopsis
  • Cytoplasmic 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (G6PGH) plays a vital role in the pentose phosphate pathway, influencing various biological processes such as metabolism and growth in plants.
  • Research indicates that G6PGH interacts with other proteins and is expressed in the rice cytoplasm, impacting rice grain quality traits.
  • Overexpressing G6PGH in rice leads to enhanced protein content, better cooking characteristics, and improved resistance to salt stress, making it a key target for developing high-quality and multi-resistant rice varieties.

The relationship between infectious agents and autoimmune diseases is a complex issue. In recent years, increasing clinical cases have indicated that infectious agents play an important role in the development of autoimmune diseases. Molecular mimicry is currently widely regarded as the primary pathogenic mechanism of various autoimmune diseases in humans.

Unlabelled: The grain protein content is an important quality trait in cereals, and the expression level of the can significantly affect the grain protein content in rice. Through site-directed mutagenesis, we found that the position from -7 to -12 bp upstream of the transcription start site of the was the functional variation site. By using the yeast single hybrid test, point-to-point in yeast, and the local surface plasmon resonance test, the OsNAC74 was screened and verified to be a regulator upstream of .
