“…Some studies showed that cytokinin is involved in regulating grain production [ 41 , 42 ]. Other plant hormones, including BR, ET, JA, and SA, also play a crucial role in seed development and grain production [ 5 , 17 , 18 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. In this study, we observed that many differentially expressed genes were related to plant hormone biosynthesis and/or signaling pathways; these genes included PYLs (abscisic acid receptor), ABI5 (ABSCISIC ACID-INSENSITIVE 5), PP2C (probable protein phosphatase 2C), SAPKs (serine/threonine-protein kinase), SAURs (auxin-responsive protein), JAR (jasmonic acid-amido synthetase), EIN2 (ETHYLENE-INSENSITIVE 2), and TIFY ( Table S2 ).…”
