Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation fad2 plants had 71% pollen viability at 28 °C versus 37% in wild type.
- Observation rod1 plants had 54% pollen viability at 28 °C versus 37% in wild type.
- Intervention effect Heat exposure reduced seed yield by 40% in rod1, versus 61% in wild type.
- Observation fad2 silicles had 65% less lipid peroxidation under heat.
- Observation fad2 silicles had 55% less proline buildup under heat.
- Mechanism Authors infer FAD2 membrane roles and ROD1 oil-tissue roles may explain their different responses.
