pectin methyl esterase/oryza sativa

Pectin Methyl Esterases (PMEs) play an essential role during plant development by affecting the mechanical properties of the plant cell walls. Recent studies indicated that PMEs play important role in pollen tube development. In this study, we isolated a 1.3 kb cDNA clone from rice panicle cDNA

Cultivating cadmium (Cd)-safe rice lines, which show low Cd accumulation in brown rice, is generally beneficial to ensure food safety. The Cd retention in root of Cd-safe rice line D62B plays an important role in its low Cd translocation from root to shoot. To understand the mechanism of Cd
