Abstract excerpt
Enhancing crop resilience to guarantee stable, high yields under adverse conditions has long been a central goal of rice breeding, but it remains challenging because of inherent trade-offs. Here, we show that the transcriptional activity of the aldehyde-dehydrogenase OsALDH2B1 simultaneously increases grain length and alkaline tolerance. Upon alkali stress, the plasma-membrane leucine-rich-repeat receptor-like...
