Abstract excerpt
Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrient element that is essential for plant growth and development. Many genes have been reported to contribute to nitrogen absorption and transportation. However, genes involved in nitrogen reutilization are seldom reported. Ornithine δ-aminotransferase (δOAT) is the enzyme connecting arginine cycling and proline cycling. Here, we found that OsOAT, the homologue of δOAT in...
