Functional Descriptions:

  • RNA yeast 3-hybrid and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays showed that the serine/arginine-rich protein MeSCL33 (SC35-like splicing factor 33) binds to the precursor mRNA of MeABA1.
  • Overexpressing MeSCL33 in cassava conferred improved PPD resistance by manipulating the AS and expression levels of MeABA1 and then modulating the endogenous ABA levels in cassava storage roots.
  • Overexpression of MeSCL33 can alleviate the PPD symptoms of cassava storage root.
  • Our results uncovered the pivotal role of the ABA biosynthesis pathway and RNA splicing in regulating cassava PPD resistance and proposed the essential roles of MeSCL33 for conferring PPD resistance, broadening our understanding of SR proteins in cassava development and stress responses.
