“…Recently, it has been reported that TFs spontaneously regulate starch and SSP synthesis during seed development in rice [ 12 ], including OsbZIP58 [ 14 , 60 ], Nhd1 [ 61 ], OsNAC20 [ 15 ], OsNAC26 [ 15 ], FLO2 [ 62 ], and OsMADS1 [ 63 ]. OsbZIP58 activates the expression of starch synthesis-related genes ( OsAGPL3 , GBSSI , SSIIa , SBE1 , BEIIb , and ISA2 ) by directly binding their promoters [ 60 ] and interacts with rice prolamin box binding factor, activating the expression of SSP genes ( GluA1 ~ 3 , GluB1 , GluD1 , and 10/13/16 kDa prolamins ) [ 14 ].…”
