Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: NtRPL17
• Gene Name: 60S ribosomal protein L17
• Genome:
• Species: Nicotiana tabacum

Functional Descriptions:

• Ribosomal protein NtRPL17 interacts with kinesin-12 family protein NtKRP and functions in the regulation of embryo/seed size and radicle growth.
• The phenotypes of NtRPL17 RNAi lines show notable embryo and seed size reduction.
• Structural observations of the NtRPL17-silenced embryos/seeds reveal that the embryo size reduction is due to a decrease in cell number.
• Confirmation of the interaction between NtKRP and NtRPL17 and their co-function in the control of the cell cycle also suggests that the mechanism might be conserved in both plants and animals.
