RbohF-mediated ROS production is required for tapetal PCD and pollen maturation in rice

This study shows that RbohF-mediated ROS production is essential for tapetal programmed cell death and pollen maturation in rice, with defects in anther development and fertility observed in knockout mutants.

Root Hydraulic and Metabolic Regulation Drives Drought Tolerance in Napier Grass

This study identifies root-driven hydraulic and metabolic regulation as key to drought tolerance in Napier grass, showing improved water-use efficiency and osmotic adjustment under stress.

GAMYB modulates bHLH142 and is homeostatically regulated by TDR during rice anther tapetal and pollen development

This study identifies GAMYB's role in modulating bHLH142 expression during rice pollen development and shows TDR's repressive effect on this regulation to maintain homeostasis.

Molecular Basis Underlying Male Sterility In bHLH142 Overexpressing Rice

This study shows that overexpressing bHLH142 in rice causes male sterility by triggering premature tapetal programmed cell death, providing a new method for hybrid seed production.
