The subunit of RNA m6A methyltransferase PheMTA1 and PheMTA2 of moso bamboo regulate root development and resistance to salt stress in plants (PRJCA031529)
In this study, we identified two m6A methyltransferases in moso bamboo, PheMTA1 and PheMTA2. Both PheMTA1 and PheMTA2 were found to significantly promote root development and enhance salt tolerance in rice. Then, we fused PheMTA1 and PheMTA2 with ADARcdE488Q and introduced them into rice and identified the target RNAs bound by PheMTA1 and PheMTA2
