Open AccessThe RING Domain of Rice HEI10 is Essential for Male, But Not Female Fertility
HEI10 is a conserved E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in crossover formation during meiosis, and is thus essential for both male and female gamete development. Here, we have discovered a novel allele of HEI10 in rice...

Open AccessMepiquat chloride priming confers the ability of cotton seed to tolerate salt by promoting ABA-operated GABA signaling control of the ascorbate–glutathione cycle
Ensuring that seeds germinate and emerge normally is a prerequisite for cotton production, esp. in areas with salinized soil. Priming with mepiquat chloride (MC) can promote seed germination and root growth un...
