Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Citrate pretreatment promoted coleoptile elongation of rice under submergence.
- Intervention effect Citrate treatment activated the expression of genes for anaerobic respiration and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis in the rice embryo during submergence.
- Intervention effect Citrate treatment did not significantly influence expression of genes for starch degradation enzymes and signaling factors in rice under submergence.
- Intervention effect Citrate pretreatment did not alter starch and soluble sugar amounts in the rice endosperm.
- Mechanism Citrate pretreatment is suggested to promote rice coleoptile elongation under submergence through transcriptional regulation of anaerobic energy genes, possibly via an unknown phenylpropanoid-related mechanism.
