  • Key message
    • RL9 is mainly expressed in roots, leaves, and flowers
    • The SLL1 gene was expressed at the lateral root tip, whereas SLL1 expression was not detected in the elongation zone of the crown roots
    • These results indicate that the lateral root specific defect in sll1 mutant is caused by the different expression patterns of SLL1 in lateral and crown roots
    • In this study, we characterized two rice (Oryza sativa) allelic rolled-leaf mutants, rolled leaf 9-1 (rl9-1) and rl9-2, which display very similar phenotypes with completely adaxialized leaves and malformed spikelets
    • Here, we show the isolation and functional characterization of SHALLOT-LIKE1 (SLL1), a key gene controlling rice leaf rolling
    • SLL1 is transcribed in various tissues and accumulates in the abaxial epidermis throughout leaf development
    • Our findings identify the role of SLL1 in the modulation of leaf abaxial cell development and in sustaining abaxial characteristics during leaf development
    • An sll1 mutant has decreased lateral root growth due to a defect in the cell elongation
    • SLL1 encodes a SHAQKYF class MYB family transcription factor belonging to the KANADI family
    • We have identified a gene, SHORT LATERAL ROOT LENGTH1 (SLL1), which is important for the elongation of lateral roots in rice
    • In addition, SLL1 over-expressers produced significantly longer lateral roots compared to the wild-type, and thus SLL1 gene would be very useful for improving rice root architecture
    • SLL1, which encodes a member of the stearoyl-acyl carrier protein fatty acid desaturase family, is involved in cell elongation in lateral roots via regulation of fatty acid content in rice
    • SLL1 deficiency leads to defective programmed cell death of abaxial mesophyll cells and suppresses the development of abaxial features
    • We measured the fatty acid content and found that the 18:0 content in the sll1 mutant root was approximately 4 times that in the wild-type root
    • The transient expression of a RL9-GFP (green fluorescent protein) fusion protein has indicated that RL9 protein is localized in the nucleus, suggesting that RL9 acts as a putative transcription factor
    • Additionally, SLL1 deficiency results in increased chlorophyll and photosynthesis
    • AH2 encodes a MYB domain protein that determines hull fate and affects grain yield and quality in rice.
    • In the study, AH2 encodes a MYB domain protein, and functions in the development of hull and grain
    • Mutation of AH2 produces smaller grains and alters grain quality including decreased amylose content and gel consistency, and increased protein content
    • Our results revealed that AH2 plays an important role in the determination of hull epidermis development, palea identity, and grain size
    • Meantime, part of the hull lost the outer silicified cells, and induces a transformation of the outer rough epidermis to inner smooth epidermis cells, and the body of the palea was reduced in the ah2 muant
