Targeted mutation of transcription factor genes alters metaxylem vessel size and number in rice roots

Targeted mutation of transcription factor genes alters metaxylem vessel size and number in rice roots

Abstract Root metaxylem vessels are responsible for axial water transport and contribute to hydraulic architecture. Variation in metaxylem vessel size and number can impact drought tolerance in crop plants, including rice, a crop that is particularly sensitive to drought. Identifying and validating...
