Functional Descriptions:
- We identified a Sed5 -like clone LjSYP32-1 which contributes to nodule tissue formation and plant growth in Lotus japonicus.
- Promoter analysis and in situ hybridization revealed that LjSYP32-1 was expressed significantly in the inner cortex cell layer surrounding the infected zone of young nodules and in the meristem area of developing lateral root.
- To explore the function and physiological role of LjSYP32-1 in nodules and other plant organs, stable transformation lines of L. japonicus expressing either sense or antisense LjSYP32-1 were prepared. The antisense plants showed a significantly retarded plant growth phenotype, suggesting a role for LjSYP32-1 in supporting plant growth.
- The data suggest that LjSYP32-1 contributes to the support of plant growth and normal nodule tissue differentiation.
