This requires the identification of proteins that significantly contribute to root development. Analyzing protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks is vastly beneficial in studying developmental phenotypes, such as root development, because a phenotype is an outcome of several interacting proteins. PPI networks can be analyzed to identify modules and get a global understanding of important proteins governing the phenotypes. PPI network analysis for root development in rice has not been performed before and has the potential to yield new findings to improve&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology/stress&quot; class=&quot;topic-link&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); word-break: break-word; text-decoration: underline 1px rgb(31, 31, 31); color: rgb(31, 31, 31); text-underline-offset: 1px;&quot;&gt;stress tolerance&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id=&quot;abs0010&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;h3 class=&quot;u-h4 u-margin-m-top u-margin-xs-bottom&quot; id=&quot;sect0015&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 24px !important; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 8px !important; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 20px !important; line-height: 30px !important;&quot;&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;u-margin-s-bottom&quot; id=&quot;sp0085&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px !important; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Here, the network module for root development was extracted from the global&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;Oryza sativa&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;PPI network retrieved from the STRING database.
