Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: OsERF5, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, positively regulates seedling cold tolerance in rice and is associated with gibberellin signalling and reactive oxygen species homeostasis; its cold‑tolerant haplotype Hap_I provides a valuable genetic resource for breeding cold‑adapted rice in high‑latitude/high‑altitude regions. Low-temperature stress severely limits rice growth and productivity, especially...
