Seed vigor affects seed germination and seedling emergence, and therefore is an important agronomic trait in rice. Small auxin-up RNAs (<i>SAURs</i>) function in a range of developmental processes, but their role in seed vigor remains unclear. Here, we observed that disruption of <i>OsSAUR33</i> resulted in reduced germination rates and low seed uniformity in early germination. Expression of <i>OsSAUR33</i> was higher in mature grains and early germinating seeds. RNA-seq analysis revealed that < ...[more]
