The role of polyamines in regulating amino acid biosynthesis in rice grains

Abstract Polyamines (PAs) are important endogenous plant growth regulators mediating the grain yield and quality in rice. This study was to clarify whether and how PAs regulate amino acid composition and content in milled rice. We grew three categories of rice cultivars differing in protein contents...
