The INDITTO2 Transposon Regulates Gene Expression to Enable Rice Adaptation to Abiotic Stress

Abstract

Plants need to adapt to the constantly changing environment, including reacting to frequent biotic and abiotic stresses. It is necessary to understand the mechanisms by which these adaptations to stress are regulated, which can greatly increase the survival rate and biomass of plants in stress conditions. Transposons have become the subject of intensive research because they are known to be involved in the adaptation to various unfavorable environments. In this short commentary, we focus on the INDITTO2 transposon, which is involved in the regulation of drought stress in plants.
