Rice MADS3 Regulates ROS Homeostasis during Late Anther Development[W][OA]

摘要

The authors identified a role for the rice floral homeotic C-class protein, MADS3, in modulating reactive oxygen species levels through the regulation of the MT-1-4b gene during late anther development. Recombinant MT-1-4b protein had superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, and reduction of MT-1-4b expression caused decreased pollen fertility.
