• Information
  • Symbol: RL14
  • MSU: LOC_Os10g40960
  • RAPdb: Os10g0558900
• Publication
  • Rolling-leaf14 is a 2OG-Fe II oxygenase family protein that modulates rice leaf rolling by affecting secondary cell wall formation in leaves, 2012, Plant Biotechnol J.
• Genbank accession number
  • AK068525
• Key message
  • RL14 was transcribed in sclerenchymatous cells in leaves that remained wrapped inside the sheath
  • Expression of genes related to secondary cell wall formation was affected in rl14-1 mutants, and cellulose and lignin content were altered in rl14-1 leaves
  • In addition, rl14 mutant plants displayed smaller stomatal complexes and decreased transpiration rates, as compared with the wild type
  • These results reveal that the RL14 gene affects water transport in leaves by affecting the composition of the secondary cell wall
• Connection
  • RL14, SRL2~AVB~NRL2~NRL3, NARROW AND ROLLED LEAF 2 regulates leaf shape, male fertility, and seed size in rice., The NRL2 protein interacted with Rolling-leaf (RL14), causing the leaves of the nrl2 mutants to have a higher cellulose content and lower lignin content than the WT, which may have been related to sclerenchymatous cell differentiation and tapetum degeneration
