OsJAZ10 negatively modulates the drought tolerance by integrating hormone signaling with systemic electrical activity in rice

Jasmonic acid (JA) plays crucial functions in plant stress response, and the synergistic interaction between JA and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling is implicated to help plants adapt to environmental challenges, whereas the underlying molecular mechanism still needs to be revealed. Here, we report that OsJAZ10, a repressor in the JA signaling, represses rice drought tolerance via inhibition of JA and ABA biosynthesis. Function loss of OsJAZ10 markedly enhances, while overexpression of OsJAZ10
