Unravelling the function of the rice orthologues of the F-box gene HAWAIIAN SKIRT (HWS) in plant development

The HAWAIIAN SKIRT (HWS) gene from Arabidopsis encodes an F-box protein of 412 amino acids. F-box proteins play a critical role in controlling degradation of cellular proteins. Previous studies revealed that in Arabidopsis, loss of HWS function induced sepal fusion and delayed organ abscission great...
