Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • LsNRL4 enhances photosynthesis and decreases leaf angles in lettuce.
  • Loss of LsNRL4 results in the enlargement of chloroplasts, decreases in the amount of cellular space allocated to chloroplasts and defects in secondary cell wall biosynthesis in lamina joints.
  • Overexpressing LsNRL4 significantly improved photosynthesis and decreased leaf angles. Indeed, the plant architecture of the overexpressing lines is ideal for dense planting.
  • We identified a novel NRL gene that enhances photosynthesis and influences plant architecture.
