Deficiency of phytochrome B alleviates chilling-induced photoinhibition in rice.

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Food crops of tropical origins, such as rice, are often cultivated in areas with suboptimal temperature regimes. The rice phytochrome B-deficient mutant (phyB) is tolerant of chilling temperatures compared with the wild type (WT) under low irradiance, and unsaturated fatty acids (USFAs) of membrane lipids have been shown to play an important role in chilling resistance. However,...
