Abstract excerpt
Salt stress during seed germination severely limits direct-seeded rice productivity in saline areas. The bHLH transcription factor Rc, well known for regulating proanthocyanidin biosynthesis and rice pericarp pigmentation, is also implicated in antioxidant activity and seed stress resistance; however, its role in germination-stage salt tolerance remains unclear. Here, we generated two gain-of-function Rc mutants...
