The OsSAPK2-OsNAC4 module couples water stress signaling with cadmium accumulation in rice.
The identification of the transcription factor OsNAC4 as a key positive regulator of Cd uptake elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying the conflict between water conservation and Cd accumulation, providing a robust genetic resource for breeding safe, climate-resilient rice varieties suitable for water-limited agri...
