Article Synopsis
  • Leaf angle is crucial for rice growth as it impacts photosynthesis and grain yield, making it essential to identify genes that regulate this trait.
  • Researchers discovered a rice mutant with reduced leaf angle through EMS mutagenesis, leading to the identification of a new gene that encodes a protein of unknown function.
  • Further analyses showed that the gene OsRELA interacts with OsLIC, a negative regulator of brassinosteroid signaling, helping to activate genes that promote leaf inclination, suggesting that OsRELA plays a key role in regulating leaf angle.

A phosphorescent material in the form of YOS:Eu, Mg, Ti hollow microspheres was prepared by homogeneous precipitation using monodispersed carbon spheres as hard templates. YO:Eu hollow microspheres were first synthesized to serve as the precursor. YOS:Eu, Mg, Ti powders were obtained by calcinating the precursor in a CS atmosphere.
