The root plays an important role in the responses of plants to stresses, but the detailed mechanisms of roots in stress responses are still obscure. The GDP-mannose pyrophosphate synthetase (GMPase) <i>OsVTC1-3</i> is a key factor of ascorbic acid (AsA) synthesis in rice roots. The present study showed that the transcript of <i>OsVTC1-3</i> was induced by salt stress in roots, but not in leaves. Inhibiting the expression of <i>OsVTC1-3</i> by RNA interfering (RI) technology significantly impaire ...[more]
