Three-day-old rice seedlings treated with ethylene showed elongation of the 2nd and 3rd leaves. This ethylene-stimulated elongation was not observed in the presence of uniconazole-P or prohexadione, both gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis inhibitors, suggesting that GA was involved in the response. An analysis of endogenous GAs by GC-MS revealed that the GA level was reduced in the 3rd leaf in response to ethylene. Dose-response experiments showed that the responsiveness to GA was enhanced by ethylene. Feeding experiments of C-GA with ethylene-treated seedlings showed that ethylene may increase the conversion of GA to GA. These results suggest that, in young seedlings of rice, ethylene stimulates leaf elongation by increasing the responsiveness to GA and the turnover of GA.

Natural variation of CTB5 confers cold adaptation in plateau japonica rice.

During cold acclimation in high-latitude and high-altitude regions, japonica rice develops enhanced cold tolerance, but the underlying genetic basis remains unclear. Here, we identify CTB5, a homeodomain-leucine zipper (HD-Zip) transcription factor that confers cold tolerance at the booting stage in japonica rice. Four natural variations in the promoter and coding regions enhance cold response and transcriptional regulatory activity, enabling the favorable CTB5 allele to improve cold tolerance.

Thioredoxin z (TRX z) plays a significant role in chloroplast development by regulating the transcription of chloroplast genes. In this study, we identified a pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein, rice albino seedling-lethal (RAS), that interacts with OsTRX z. This interaction was initially discovered by using a yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screening technique and was further validated through Y2H and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) experiments.

Salt stress is a vital environmental stress that severely limits plant growth and productivity. Prohexadione-calcium (Pro-Ca) has been extensively studied to regulate plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, the constructive role of Pro-Ca in alleviating damages and enhancing rice tillers' morph-physiological characteristics under salt stress remains largely unknown.

The accumulation of aniline in the natural environment poses a potential threat to crops, and thus, investigating the effects of aniline on plants holds practical implications for agricultural engineering and its affiliated industries. This study combined physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic methods to investigate the growth status and molecular-level response mechanisms of rice under stress from varying concentrations of aniline. At a concentration of 1 mg/L, aniline exhibited a slight growth-promoting effect on rice.
