  • Key message
    • OsRAF is an ethylene responsive and root abundant factor gene of rice
    • Here, we report OsRAF (a Root Abundant Factor gene in Oryza sativa), a new member of the rice ERF group, expressed more abundantly in roots than in other organs of rice at the transcriptional level
    • OsLG3 contributing to rice grain length and yield was mined by Ho-LAMap.
    • Phylogenetic analysis showed that OsLG3 might have much potential value for improvement of grain length in japonica breeding
    • The results demonstrated that Ho-LAMap is a potential approach for gene discovery and OsLG3 is a promising gene to be utilized in genomic assisted breeding for rice cultivar improvement
    • Here, we report that the ERF family transcription factor OsLG3 positively regulates drought tolerance in rice
    • In our previous work, we found that OsLG3 has a positive effect on rice grain length without affecting grain quality
    • Collectively, our findings reveal that natural variation in OsLG3 contributes to rice drought tolerance and that the elite allele of OsLG3 is a promising genetic resource for the development of drought-tolerant rice varieties
    • Natural Variation in OsLG3 Increases Drought Tolerance in Rice by Inducing ROS Scavenging.
    • Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the tolerant allele of OsLG3 may improve drought tolerance in cultivated japonica rice
    • Introgression lines and complementation transgenic lines containing the elite allele of OsLG3IRAT109 showed increased drought tolerance, demonstrating that natural variation in OsLG3 contributes to drought tolerance in rice
    • By performing candidate gene association analysis, we found that natural variation in the promoter of OsLG3 is associated with tolerance to osmotic stress in germinating rice seeds
    • Overexpression of OsLG3 significantly improved the tolerance of rice plants to simulated drought, whereas suppression of OsLG3 resulted in greater susceptibility
    • Further investigation suggested that OsLG3 plays a positive role in drought-stress tolerance in rice by inducing reactive oxygen species scavenging
    • Overexpression of the Transcription Factor Gene OsSTAP1 Increases Salt Tolerance in Rice
    • Compared with wild type, transgenic lines overexpressing OsSTAP1 exhibited increased tolerance to salt stress with higher SOD, POD, and CAT activities, and lower Na+/K+ ratios in the shoots
    • Conclusion: This study suggests that OsSTAP1 functions as an AP2/ERF transcriptional activator, and plays a positive role in salt tolerance by decreasing the Na+/K+ ratio and maintaining cellular redox homeostasis
    • OsSTAP1 is localized to the nucleus and acts as a transcriptional activator in plant cells
