Anther transcriptomes in cold-tolerant rice cultivars tend to show insensitive responses by Koichi Yamamori, Seiya Ishiguro, Kei Ogasawara, Kayyis Muayadah Lubba, Kaien Fujino, Kazumitsu Onishi, Yutaka Sato, Yuji Kishima

“…From the few cloned genes, it is difficult to genetically interpret intermediate tolerance or susceptibility levels and explain the complexity of stress responses and tolerance. In this study, we explored the changes in the transcriptome of anthers from 13 rice lines with different cold tolerance grown under control conditions or exposed to 4 days of cold stress to look for correlations between cold tolerance at the booting stage and expression levels. …”
