Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation MGR2 transcriptional dynamics were species-specific across leaf development and diurnal cycles.
- Intervention effect SsMGR2 restored Mg2+ uptake in the Mg2+-deficient Salmonella mutant.
- Intervention effect SoMGR2 restored Mg2+ uptake in the Mg2+-deficient Salmonella mutant.
- Intervention effect Overexpression of SsMGR2 in rice increased biomass under Mg2+ deficiency.
- Intervention effect Overexpression of SsMGR2 in rice enhanced tolerance to Mg2+ excess.
- Observation Promoter architecture revealed interspecific divergence between the two sugarcane species.
- Mechanism BBX25, COL5 and WRKY19-2 may explain the species differences in MGR2 expression through species-dependent regulatory interactions.
