OsLOX2, A Rice Type I Lipoxygenase, Confers Opposite Effects On Seed Germination and Longevity by 李誠紘 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The study investigates the role of the rice OsLOX2 gene, a type I lipoxygenase, in seed germination and longevity. Over-expression of OsLOX2 accelerates seed germination but decreases seed viability after aging, while RNA interference (RNAi) of OsLOX2 delays germination and enhances longevity. The findings suggest that OsLOX2 has opposing effects on seed germination and storage longevity, indicating that appropriate repression of this gene could improve seed storage without compromising germination.
