Abstract excerpt
The rice paddy-direct seeding system has been widely adopted due to its low cost and convenience, whereas its application is mainly constrained by low seedling vigor, cold sensitivity, eventually resulting in reduced grain yield. Here, we show vig1a and vig1b, two allelic mutants of OsbZIP01, that both demonstrate greatly enhanced seedling vigor and chilling tolerance but differ in final grain production. The...
