Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os06g50920
• RAPdb gene ID: Os06g0724900
• Gene Symbol: ILA1
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The increased leaf angle in ILA1 is caused by abnormal vascular bundle formation and cell wall composition in the leaf lamina joint, as distinct from the mechanism observed in brassinosteroid-related mutants.
• ILA1 is predominantly resident in the nucleus and expressed in the vascular bundles of leaf lamina joints.
• We report here the characterization of a rice (Oryza sativa) mutant, increased leaf angle1 (ILA1), resulting from a T-DNA insertion in a Group C MAPKKK gene.
• Microarray analyses of leaf lamina joints provided additional evidence for alterations in mechanical strength in ILA1.
• ILA1 is thus a key factor regulating mechanical tissue formation at the leaf lamina joint.
