Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os05g32110
• RAPdb gene ID: Os05g0386800
• Gene Symbol: OsBC1L4
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• A decrease in cellulose content but the increase in pectin and starch contents was identified in OsBC1L4 mutants by measuring the content of wall components.
• Correlation analysis indicated that the expression of OsBC1L4 was highly correlated to that of several primary wall-forming cellulose synthase genes (CESAs).
• Moreover, the expression level of several cellulose-related genes is increased in OsBC1L4 mutants, which suggests that a feedback mechanism may exist during cellulose synthesis.
• OsBC1L4 encodes a COBRA-like protein that affects cellulose synthesis in rice.
• Previously, a dwarf mutant with fewer tillers, OsBC1L4 (Oryza sativa brittle culm 1 like 4), was identified by screening a rice T-DNA insertion mutant library.
• OsBC1L4 protein is mainly located in the cell wall and plasma membrane.
