<div class="line" id="line-15"> <span style='color: rgb(28, 29, 30); font-family: "Open Sans", icomoon, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;'> Phosphatidylinositol‐specific phospholipase C (PI‐PLC) is involved in stress signalling but its signalling function remains largely unknown in crop plants. Here, we report that the PI‐PLC4 from rice ( </span> <i style='color: rgb(28, 29, 30); font-family: "Open Sans", icomoon, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;'> Oryza sativa cv </i> <span style='color: rgb(28, 29, 30); font-family: "Open Sans", icomoon, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;'> ), OsPLC4, plays a positive role in osmotic stress response.
