OsDUF1223 negatively regulates seedling drought tolerance and modulates nitrate-dependent root growth in rice

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a major staple food crop worldwide. Drought stress induced by extreme weather severely limits its growth and yield. Proteins containing domains of unknown function (DUF) play important roles in plant stress responses, but their regulatory mechanisms remain largely unclear. In this study, we de...
