From: Natural variations of SLG1 confer high-temperature tolerance in indica rice

SLG1 is diversified among wild rice accessions. The intimate association of tRNA thiolation and thermotolerance led to the artificial selection of the SLG1Ind allele for the adaptation of indica rice to geographical regions with high environmental temperature. Interestingly, the SLG1Tej allele was also subjected to selection during japonica domestication, which might be due to the dynamic response of tRNA thiolation to various environmental stresses46.
