Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Drought is a major constraint to rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield. The young spike differentiation stage is crucial for yield determination, exhibiting heightened sensitivity to soil moisture deficits. RICE CENTRORADIALIS 1 (RCN1), a TERMINAL FLOWER-like gene, is a key regulator of young spike differentiation and may mediate drought-induced delays in floral transition in rice. This study examines the...
