An Oryza orphan gene confers trans-species drought tolerance.
Drought threatens crop productivity, yet enhancing tolerance often compromises yield.
Drought threatens crop productivity, yet enhancing tolerance often compromises yield. Abscisic acid (ABA) signaling is central to drought response, but its deep conservation can constrain adaptive flexibility. Here, we identify ROAD1 (rice orphan gene adapted for drought 1), an…
