The paper identifies a copper-sensitive OsSPL9 transcription factor that regulates indica rice domestication-associated miRNAs and phenotypes through a regulatory loop involving Cu and miRNA targets.

The paper identifies how a disulfide bond stabilizes a peptide fold that enables specific recognition by the plant receptor kinase HSL3.

This study identifies OsWRKY53 as a key regulator of wound responses in rice by modulating cross-talk between PEP and PSK signaling pathways.
