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.
