Overexpression of OsEXPA8, a root-specific gene, improves rice growth and root system architecture by facilitating cell extension.

Overexpression of OsEXPA8, a root-specific gene, improves rice growth and root system architecture by facilitating cell extension.

Expansins are unique plant cell wall proteins that are involved in cell wall modifications underlying many plant developmental processes. In this work, we investigated the possible biological role of the root-specific α-expansin gene OsEXPA8 in rice growth and development by generating transgenic pl...
