Modulation of Abiotic Stress Responses in Rice by E3-Ubiquitin Ligases: A Promising Way to Develop Stress-Tolerant Crops

Abstract excerpt

Plants are unable to physically escape environmental constraints and have, therefore, evolved a range of molecular and physiological mechanisms to maximize survival in an ever-changing environment. Among these, the post-translational modification of ubiquitination has emerged as an important mechanism to understand and improve the stress response. The ubiquitination of a given protein can change its abundance...
