Abstract:We have earlier reported on the development of an activation tagged gain-of-function mutant population in an indica rice variety, BPT-5204 (Moin et al. 2016). Screening of these gain of function mutants for water-use efficiency (WUE) followed by physiological analyses revealed the activation of two helicases, ATP-dependent RNA (SEN1) and DNA (XPB2) encoding unwinding proteins in two different mutant lines. In the current study, we examined the roles of these genes in stable activation tagged mutants of rice fo… Show more
