Abstract excerpt
Soil salinity critically impairs global rice productivity, necessitating the exploration of salt-tolerant genetic resources in wild rice (Oryza rufipogon). Here, we identified a C2H2 transcription factor, ST5, from wild rice using a chromosome segment substitution line population. Functional analysis reveals that ST5 negatively regulates rice salt tolerance. A 36-bp insertion in the ST5W promoter harbors two...
