Abstract excerpt
Under conditions of labor or resource scarcity, direct seeding, rather than transplantation, is the preferred mode of rice (Oryza sativa) cultivation. This approach requires varieties that exhibit uniform seedling emergence. Mesocotyl elongation (ME), the main driver of rapid emergence of rice seedlings from soil, is enhanced by darkness and inhibited by light. Plant polyamine oxidases (PAOs) oxidize polyamines...
