Gene Details:

• Gene ID: BnaA05g18250D
• Gene Symbol: BnUC1
• Gene Name: up-curling leaf mutant
• Genome:
• Species: Brassica napus

Functional Descriptions:

• An up-curling leaf mutant BnUC1 was controlled by one dominant locus BnUC1. This locus had positive effects on photosynthetic efficiency, negative effects on some agronomic traits, and may help to increase planting density in B. napus.
• The near-isogenic line of the up-curling leaf (ZS11-UC1) was constructed to evaluate the effect of BnUC1 on photosynthetic efficiency. The results indicated that the up-curling leaf trait locus was beneficial to improve the photosynthetic efficiency.
• We studied its inheritance, mapped the up-curling leaf locus BnUC1, built near-isogenic lines for the BnUC1 mutant, and evaluated the effect of the dominant leaf curl locus on leaf photosynthetic efficiency and agronomic traits.
• Our results will lay a good foundation for elucidating the molecular mechanism underlying the up-curling leaf phenotype in B. napus, and provide clues for further positional cloning and functional research related to BnUC1.
