• SLG controls grain size and leaf angle by modulating brassinosteroid homeostasis in rice.
• Moreover, SLG RNAi plants displayed mild BR-deficient phenotypes including shorter grains, smaller leaf angles, and compact semi-dwarf plant types
• SLG is preferentially expressed in young panicles and lamina joints, implying its role in controlling cell growth in those two tissues
• Taken together, we conclude that SLG is an important regulator in BR homeostasis and that manipulation of SLG expression to an optimal level may provide a way to develop an ideal plant type
• Overexpression of SLG in d11-2 (deficient in BR synthesis) and d61-1 (deficient in BR signaling) did not change the existing phenotypes

• HOS59, SLG, KNOX II transcription factor HOS59 functions in regulating rice grain size., Meanwhile, our IP-MS datasets showed that HOS59 was closely associated with BELL family proteins, some grain size regulators (OsSPL13, OsSPL16, OsSPL18, SLG, etc
