• Information
  • Symbol: LGD1
  • MSU: LOC_Os09g32540
  • RAPdb: Os09g0502100
• Publication
  • Rice LGD1 containing RNA binding activity affects growth and development through alternative promoters, 2012, Plant J.
• Genbank accession number
  • NP_001063585.2
• Key message
  • The lgd1 mutant showed slow growth, reduced tiller number and plant height, altered panicle architecture and reduced grain yield
  • Our results demonstrated that LGD1 pleiotropically regulated rice vegetative growth and development through both the distinct spatiotemporal expression patterns of its multiple transcripts and RNA binding activity
  • In this study, T-DNA mutant and RNAi transgenic approaches were used to functionally characterize a unique rice gene, LAGGING GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT 1 (LGD1)
  • Rice LGD1 containing RNA binding activity affects growth and development through alternative promoters
  • The fewer unelongated internodes and cells in lgd1 led to respective reductions in tiller number and to semi-dwarfism
