• Information
  • Symbol: ILA1
  • MSU: LOC_Os06g50920
  • RAPdb: Os06g0724900
• Publication
  • Increased leaf angle1, a Raf-like MAPKKK that interacts with a nuclear protein family, regulates mechanical tissue formation in the Lamina joint of rice, 2011, Plant Cell.
• Genbank accession number
  • AK073747
• Key message
  • The increased leaf angle in ila1 is caused by abnormal vascular bundle formation and cell wall composition in the leaf lamina joint, as distinct from the mechanism observed in brassinosteroid-related mutants
  • ILA1 is predominantly resident in the nucleus and expressed in the vascular bundles of leaf lamina joints
  • We report here the characterization of a rice (Oryza sativa) mutant, increased leaf angle1 (ila1), resulting from a T-DNA insertion in a Group C MAPKKK gene
  • Microarray analyses of leaf lamina joints provided additional evidence for alterations in mechanical strength in ila1
  • ILA1 is thus a key factor regulating mechanical tissue formation at the leaf lamina joint
• Connection
  • IIP4, ILA1, An uncanonical CCCH-tandem zinc finger protein represses secondary wall synthesis and controls mechanical strength in rice., Here, we report that ILA1 interacting protein 4 (IIP4) can repress secondary wall synthesis
