A drought‐responsive rice amidohydrolase is the elusive plant guanine deaminase with the potential to modulate the epigenome Open
Drought stress in plants causes differential expression of numerous genes. One of these differentially expressed genes in rice is a specific amidohydrolase. We characterized this amidohydrolase gene on the rice chromosome 12 as the first p…
