TLDR
It is demonstrated that miR319 plays important roles in leaf morphogenesis and cold tolerance in rice and genetically down-regulating the expression of either of the two miR 319-targeted genes in RNA interference plants resulted in enhanced cold tolerance after chilling acclimation.Abstract:
MicroRNA319 (miR319) family is one of the conserved microRNA (miRNA) families among diverse plant species. It has been reported that miR319 regulates plant development in dicotyledons, but little is known at present about its functions in monocotyledons. In rice (Oryza sativa L.), the MIR319 gene family comprises two members, Osa-MIR319a and Osa-MIR319b. Here, we report an expression pattern analysis and a functional characterization of the two Osa-MIR319 genes in rice. We found that overexpressing Osa-MIR319a and Osa-MIR319b in rice both resulted in wider leaf blades. Leaves of osa-miR319 overexpression transgenic plants showed an increased number of longitudinal small veins, which probably accounted for the increased leaf blade width. In addition, we observed that overexpressing osa-miR319 led to enhanced cold tolerance (4 °C) after chilling acclimation (12 °C) in transgenic rice seedlings. Notably, under both 4 and 12 °C low temperatures, Osa-MIR319a and Osa-MIR319b were down-regulated while the expression of miR319-targeted genes was induced. Furthermore, genetically down-regulating the expression of either of the two miR319-targeted genes, OsPCF5 and OsPCF8, in RNA interference (RNAi) plants also resulted in enhanced cold tolerance after chilling acclimation. Our findings in this study demonstrate that miR319 plays important roles in leaf morphogenesis and cold tolerance in rice.read more

TL;DR: This book chapter describes the plant response to abiotic stress in developing tolerance through stress signaling molecules such as late embryogenesis abundant proteins, HSPs, methylglyoxyl, HyPRPs, aquaporins, and protein kinases, and the huge potential of breakthrough CRISPR-Cas9 and CRisPR-Cpf1 genome editing systems in developing sustainable multiple abiotic Stress tolerance in crop plants.

TL;DR: Overexpression of OsAGO1b caused adaxially rolled leaves and a series of abnormal phenotypes, such as the reduced tiller number and plant height in rice, and it is proposed that OsAGE1b may regulate the abaxial sclerenchymatous cell differentiation by affecting the expression of OSHBs in rice.

Efficient transformation of rice (Oryza sativa L.) mediated by Agrobacterium and sequence analysis of the boundaries of the T-DNA.
TL;DR: A large number of morphologically normal, fertile, transgenic rice plants were obtained by co-cultivation of rice tissues with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and sequence analysis revealed that the boundaries of the T-DNA in transgenic Rice plants were essentially identical to those intransgenic dicotyledons.
