OsDUF846.2 is a functional factor of salt  and heat stress tolerance in rice (PRJCA042825)
Soil salinity and heat stress are major abiotic stress factors restricting rice growth, development, and yield potential. DUFs (Domains of Unknown Function) are proteins with structurally conserved but functionally undefined domains, widely present across organisms. The DUF846 family has been demonstrated to participate in plant growth and development as well as trans-Golgi network sorting and secretion. However, their functional roles in abiotic stress tolerance responses in rice remain poorly understood. In this project, we focused on OsDUF846.2, a member of the rice DUF846 family.We want to test the hypothesis that OsDUF846.2 is a functional factor of  of salt  and heat stress tolerance in rice and to investigat how the gene response to salt and heat stress.
