Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Single-cell transcriptome data showed strong communication between phloem and lodicule cells during rice floret opening.
- Mechanism The communication between phloem and lodicule cells potentially involves transport of calcium ions, soluble sugars and water.
- Mechanism The osmolytes contribute to lowering lodicule osmotic potential, thereby facilitating lodicule swelling.
- Observation Multiple floret-opening regulators were identified in rice.
