• Information
  • Symbol: bc15,OsCTL1
  • MSU: LOC_Os09g32080
  • RAPdb: Os09g0494200
• Publication
  • Brittle culm15 encodes a membrane-associated chitinase-like protein required for cellulose biosynthesis in rice, 2012, Plant Physiol.
• Genbank accession number
  • AK069564
  • AK103755
  • AK069564
  • AK103755
• Key message
  • Mutation of BC15/OsCTL1 causes reduced cellulose content and mechanical strength without obvious alterations in plant growth
  • Investigation of the global expression profile of wild-type and bc15 plants, using Illumina RNA sequencing, further suggested a possible mechanism by which BC15/OsCTL1 mediates cellulose biosynthesis and cell wall remodeling
  • In this study, we report the isolation of a brittle culm mutant, bc15, and the map-based cloning of the BC15/OsCTL1 (for chitinase-like1) gene affected in the mutant
