The E2 ubiquitin‐conjugating enzymes OsUBC11 and OsUBC12 promote rice seed germination by ubiquitinating and destabilizing OsABI3 in the ABA signaling pathway

SUMMARY The ubiquitin‐conjugating enzymes (E2) play critical roles in plant stress responses and development, but their functions in ABA‐mediated seed germination in rice remain largely unknown. We identified two homologous E2 enzymes, OsUBC11 and OsUBC12, which are highly expressed in rice seeds and induced by multipl...
