    Abstract: A gene encoded WD-40 repeat protein (OsWD1) was isolated from rice cells to study the platform for protein-protein interactions in germinating seeds. The expression of OsWD1 was found to be specifically induced at 3 d of seed germination. By ectopic overexpressing (OsWD1-Ox) or RNA interference gene knockdown (OsWD1-Ri) of OsWD1, respectively.
