OsHDAC1 Suppresses OsGR3 Expression via Deacetylation of Aldehyde Dehydrogenase OsALDH2B1, Reducing Salt Tolerance in Rice

Background Introduction Rice, as a globally important food crop, is significantly affected by salt stress, which impacts its growth and yield. Salt stress can have multiple effects on rice at morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels, making it crucial to analyze the molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance in rice for agricultural production. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) … Read more
