Nature variations of OsNLP4 responsible for nitrogen use efficiency divergence in the two rice subspecies

Japonica subspecies has a lower nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) than that of indica rice. Here, the authors show that natural variations in the NIN-like protein 4 (OsNLP4) encoding gene are responsible for the divergence and introgression of the indica OsNLP4 allele into elite japonica cultivar can increase NUE and grain yield.

H₂O₂-mediated oxidation of PHOSPHATE STARVATION RESPONSE2 promotes adaptation to low phosphate in rice

Phosphorus is an essential plant nutrient. Here Meng et al. show that low phosphorus availability stimulates hydrogen peroxide production which in turn promotes the oligomerization, nuclear translocation and DNA binding activity of the PHR2 transcription factor and enhances the phosphate starvation response.

A root system architecture regulator modulates OsPIN2 polar localization in rice

Li et al. characterized the gene GRAVITROPISM LOSS 1 (OsGLS1) in rice, which regulates root system architecture (RSA) to enhance nutrient uptake and yield. OsGLS1 promotes the degradation of OsPIN2, influencing auxin transport and root growth patterns.

OsFTIP7 determines auxin-mediated anther dehiscence in rice

Anther dehiscence is necessary for pollen dispersal and the following pollination process. Now, a molecular framework that regulates local auxin biosynthesis at the late stages of anther development has been elucidated to coordinate anther dehiscence in rice.
