Journal ArticleDOI

Sub1A is an ethylene-response-factor-like gene that confers submergence tolerance to rice

TL;DR: The identification of a cluster of three genes at the Sub1 locus, encoding putative ethylene response factors, indicates that Sub1A-1 is a primary determinant of submergence tolerance in O. sativa ssp.
Journal ArticleDOI

A variable cluster of ethylene response factor-like genes regulates metabolic and developmental acclimation responses to submergence in rice.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the Sub1 region haplotype determines ethylene- and GA-mediated metabolic and developmental responses to submergence through differential expression of Sub1A and Sub1C, which dampens ethylene production and GA responsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homeostatic response to hypoxia is regulated by the N-end rule pathway in plants

TL;DR: It is found that plants lacking components of the N-end rule pathway constitutively express core hypoxia-response genes and are more tolerant of hypoxic stress, and a molecular mechanism for oxygen sensing in plants via the evolutionarily conserved N- end rule pathway is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Making sense of low oxygen sensing

TL;DR: It is proposed that the turnover of group VII ERFs is of ecological relevance in wetland species and might be manipulated to improve flood tolerance of crops and evade oxygen-regulated N-end rule degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Submergence Tolerance Regulator SUB1A Mediates Crosstalk between Submergence and Drought Tolerance in Rice

TL;DR: It is revealed that SUB1A enhanced recovery from drought at the vegetative stage through reduction of leaf water loss and lipid peroxidation and increased expression of genes associated with acclimation to dehydration, resulting in enhanced tolerance to oxidative stress.
