Signaling by a tyrosine-sulfated peptide balances growth and osmotic stress response in rice

Yejin Shim, Ellen Youngsoo Rim, Jin C.-Y. Liao…·Pamela C. Ronald

Overexpressing rice peptide OsPSY8 lengthens roots but lowers osmotic stress survival, while knockout raises it; OsWRKY24 represses the OsPSY8 promoter and is induced by PEG.
