Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation OsPCR1 expression was elevated in developing seeds of the GW2 introgression line.
- Intervention effect OsPCR1 knockout lines had lower grain weight than wild type.
- Intervention effect OsPCR1 knockdown lines had lower grain weight than wild type.
- Intervention effect OsPCR1 overexpression lines produced heavier grains.
- Intervention effect OsPCR1 knockdown grains had substantially higher Zn concentrations than control.
- Intervention effect OsPCR1 knockdown grains had lower Cd concentrations than control.
- Observation OsPCR1 amino acid sequence varied between japonica and indica rice types.
- Observation Japonica-type PCR1 had a shorter N-terminus than PCR1 in other rice types.
- Observation Japonica-type grains accumulated less Zn than indica-type grains.
- Association The authors suggest PCR1 may have been selected during domestication.
