Abstract:
During rice seed storage, lipid hydrolysis and oxidation in the embryo generate off-flavors. This Commentary examines a study by Wang et al., who demonstrated that manipulating OsBZR4 in various rice cultivars induces a high proportion of embryoless seeds by altering auxin levels and spatial distribution during early embryogenesis-a process intensified under elevated temperatures.
