Orchestration of ethylene and gibberellin signals determines primary root elongation in rice (2022)
Journal Article
Qin, H., Pandey, B. K., Li, Y., Huang, G., Wang, J., Quan, R., …Huang, R. (2022). Orchestration of ethylene and gibberellin signals determines primary root elongation in rice. Plant Cell, 34(4), 1273-1288. https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koac008

Primary root growth in cereal crops is fundamental for early establishment of the seedling and grain yield. In young rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings, the primary root grows rapidly for 7-10 days after germination and then stops; however, the underlying...
