Wang et al.(2025) demonstrated that manipulating brassinazole-resistant 4(OsBZR4) in various rice cultivars induces a high proportion(60%-100%) of embryoless seeds by altering auxin levels and spatial distribution during early embryogenesis—a process intensified under elevated temperatures(Figure 1). These findings unveiled a promising strategy for simultaneously enhancing milled rice yield and storability.展开更多
