Abstract
Thermomorphogenesis is an important pathway that helps plants to adjust their growth and development with the rise of the temperature. This study is conducted to see the effect of Oryza sativa PIL13 (OsPIL13) in the Col-0 background of the Arabidopsis, which will make us understand the role PIL13 play in thermomorphogenesis in the plant system. Additionally, this will also help us to establish a thermomorphogenic pathway in rice. The increase in climatic temperature poses a question for food security in the near future. Hence, studying the improved temperature is the key step in developing new and high-yielding crops. In order to develop better crop development, it is better to understand the thermomorphogenic pathway in rice so that it can be used further for generating climate-resilient crops. We have identified the PIF4 homolog i.e., the PIL13 gene in rice, and transformed it into A. tumefaciens. The morphological and molecular analysis of T3 homozygous transgenic plants was done.
