    The reporter learned from the China Rice Research Institute on the 9th that the team of researcher Zhang Jian of the institute and the team of academician Hu Peisong have revealed for the first time the mechanism by which "plant insulin" 6-phosphate-trehalose (Tre6P) regulates carbon source allocation and grain yield in rice.


    In the case of hyperglycemia, vertebrates mainly maintain blood glucose homeostasis by secreting insulin, stimulating blood glucose consumption and glycogen synthesis, and ensuring the normal operation of physiological functions


    "It is particularly important that Tre6P has the potential to greatly improve crop yield


    The research team identified a sugar-inducible transcription factor gene OsNAC23 that regulates Tre6P accumulation in rice


    The research team overexpressed the OsNAC23 gene during the experiment of three rice varieties Nipponbare, Nanjing 46 and Zhongshui 01, which significantly increased the Tre6P content of the plants
