Intron editing of <i>RISBZ1</i> confers thermotolerance for grain filling in rice
RISBZ1 encodes the transcription factor bZIP58, which regulates grain filling; intron editing of RISBZ1 to eliminate aberrant alternatively spliced transcripts increased grain weight without compromising key agronomic traits under normal conditions, and enhanced grain weight and quality under heat stress conditions.
