WLG coordinates multi-stress tolerance in rice by regulating DST-dependent H2O2 homeostasis and stomatal aperture

Abiotic stresses reduce rice growth and yield, yet the mechanisms underlying multiple stress tolerance are unknown. Here, we show that the E3 ubiquitin ligase WIDTH OF LEAF AND GRAIN (WLG) enhances drought, salt, and heat tolerance by ubiquitinating and degrading DROUGHT AND SALT...
