Taking stress with much more than a pinch of salt: osGRF7 regulates salinity resistance in rice through arbutin biosynthesis.

- Abstract
A study published in the journal Plant Cell explores the role of osGRF7 in regulating salinity resistance in rice through arbutin biosynthesis. Soil salinity poses a significant challenge to agricultural crops, affecting growth and yield. The researchers found that high levels of OsGRF7 were associated with increased arbutin content and higher salt tolerance in rice. They also discovered that OsGRF7 upregulates the expression of UGT1 and UGT5, enzymes involved in arbutin biosynthesis. Additionally, the study identified an F-box protein, OsFBO13, as a negative regulator of rice salt stress responses. These findings provide insights into the potential application of arbutin in rice breeding for salt tolerance.
