Mutations in the DNA demethylase OsROS1 result in a thickened aleurone and improved nutritional value in rice grains [Plant Biology]

The rice endosperm, consisting of an outer single-cell layer aleurone and an inner starchy endosperm, is an important staple food for humans. While starchy endosperm stores mainly starch, the aleurone is rich in an array of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. To improve the nutritional value of rice, we screened for...
