Natural variation in CTB4a enhances rice adaptation to cold habitats

Natural variation in CTB4a enhances rice adaptation to cold habitats

Low temperature is a major factor limiting productivity in rice. Here the authors show that theCTB4a gene confers cold tolerance to japonicavarieties adapted to cold habitats at the booting stage of development, and propose that CTB4a acts via an interaction with the beta subunit of ATP synthase.
