Open AccessGenetic background influences mineral accumulation in rice straw and grains under different soil pH conditions
Mineral element accumulation in plants is influenced by soil conditions and varietal factors. We investigated the dynamic accumulation of 12 elements in straw at the flowering stage and in grains at the mature...

Open AccessDiverse roles of the metal binding domains and transport mechanism of copper transporting P-type ATPases
Copper transporting P-type (P1B-1-) ATPases are essential for cellular homeostasis. Nonetheless, the E1-E1P-E2P-E2 states mechanism of P1B-1-ATPases remains poorly understood. In particular, the role of the intri...

Open AccessA silicon transporter gene required for healthy growth of rice on land
Silicon (Si) is the most abundant mineral element in the earth’s crust. Some plants actively accumulate Si as amorphous silica (phytoliths), which can protect plants from stresses. Here, we report a gene (SIET4) ...

Open AccessStructural basis for high selectivity of a rice silicon channel Lsi1
Silicon (Si), the most abundant mineral element in the earth’s crust, is taken up by plant roots in the form of silicic acid through Low silicon rice 1 (Lsi1). Lsi1 belongs to the Nodulin 26-like intrinsic pro...

Open AccessAcetic-acid-induced jasmonate signaling in root enhances drought avoidance in rice
Conferring drought resistant traits to crops is one of the major aims of current breeding programs in response to global climate changes. We previously showed that exogenous application of acetic acid to roots...

Open AccessSecurity of a kind of quantum secret sharing with entangled states
We present a new collusion attack to a kind of quantum secret sharing schemes with entangled states. Using this attack, an unauthorized set of agents can gain access to the shared secret without the others’ co...

Erratum: Reducing phosphorus accumulation in rice grains with an impaired transporter in the node
Nature 541, 92–95 (2017); doi:10.1038/nature20610 In this Letter, owing to an error during the production process, the last column of Fig. 2b was labelled ‘PO4’ rather than ‘SO4’; this has been corrected online.

Open AccessDeployment of check-in nodes in complex networks
In many real complex networks such as the city road networks and highway networks, vehicles often have to pass through some specially functioned nodes to receive check-in like services such as gas supplement a...

Open AccessA heavy metal P-type ATPase OsHMA4 prevents copper accumulation in rice grain
Rice is a major source of calories and mineral nutrients for over half the world’s human population. However, little is known in rice about the genetic basis of variation in accumulation of copper (Cu), an ess...

Open AccessAtPHT4;4 is a chloroplast-localized ascorbate transporter in Arabidopsis
Ascorbate is an antioxidant and coenzyme for various metabolic reactions in vivo. In plant chloroplasts, high ascorbate levels are required to overcome photoinhibition caused by strong light. However, ascorbate i...

Open AccessAcquisition of aluminium tolerance by modification of a single gene in barley
Originating from the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East, barley has now been cultivated widely on different soil types including acid soils, where aluminium toxicity is a major limiting factor. Here we show t...
