Knockout of OsSAP5 Improves Resistance to Pre-harvest Sprouting by Modulating OsSLR1 Protein Abundance in Rice.
Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS), defined as the premature germination of grains on the panicle before harvest, significantly compromises grain yield and seed quality. Optimizing seed dormancy is therefore crucial for mitigating PHS. Here, we report that loss of function in Stress-associated Protein 5 (OsSAP5) enhances resi...
