Rice Putative Methyltransferase Gene OsPMT16 Is Required for Pistil Development Involving Pectin Modification

Pectin synthesis and modification are vital for plant development, although the underlying mechanisms are still not well understood. Furthermore, reports on the function of pectin in the pistil are limited. Herein, we report the functional characterization of the OsPMT16 gene, which encodes a putati...
