The semi-dwarf Green Revolution varieties (GRVs) characterized by elevated DELLA protein accumulation introduce a fundamental trade-off, increasing lodging resistance and harvest index at the expense of diminished biomass and grain productivity per plant, and require high nitrogen fertilizer inputs to achieve maximum yield potential under high planting density. Here we show that gibberellin (GA)-bound GA-INSENSITIVE DWARF1 (GID1) induces multi-level conformational changes in DELLA protein, affecting its N-terminal DELLA and VHYN/DPT/S and C-terminal VVLV and SAW motifs, thereby facilitating recognition by the SKP1-CULLIN-F-box (SCF) ubiquitin ligase complex and subsequent proteasomal degradation. We also performed structure-guided engineering of the rice SLENDER RICE1 (SLR1)-GID1-GID2 complex and created a series of dwarf alleles exhibiting a continuous spectrum of plant heights in elite cultivars. Notably, the dominant alleles slr1 and slr1 achieved superior yield and enhanced NUE over conventional sd1-containing GRVs. Reprogramming DELLA turnover thus enables to break the long-standing trade-off between high yield and fertilizer dependency, offering a strategy toward a more sustainable and productive Green Revolution.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
