Synergism between SCT1/SCT2 and DNA methylation regulates the expression of Copia2 retrotransposon in rice
In rice, the retrotransposon Copia2 is activated in response to drought via Ca2+ signaling where the transcription factors SENSING CA2+ TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR 1 (SCT1) and SCT2 bind calmodulin to boost...
