Pan-genomic analysis of alternative polyadenylation reveals a 3'UTR remodeling regulatory layer controlling salt tolerance in rice.
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) generates mRNA isoforms with variable 3'UTR lengths, yet its genetic basis and functional significance at the population level remain unexplored in plants. Here, we present the population-level APA landscape and the APA quantitative trait loci (3'aQTL) map in rice, through profiling of...
