Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS1A02G010500
• Gene Symbol: Csl-1A
• Gene Name: cellulose synthase-like
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Dinucleotide repeat-length polymorphism in the 5′UTR region of the Csl gene was associated with tiller number in diverse wheat germplasm and linked to expression differences of Csl transcripts between NILs.
• We propose that regulation of Csl transcript and/or protein levels affects carbon partitioning throughout the plant, which plays a key role in the tin phenotype.
• Csl transcript and/or protein levels alters carbon partitioning throughout the plant, preventing tiller-bud outgrowth and resulting in increased lignification and strength of stems in tin plants.
• A candidate gene for tin was identified through map-based cloning and was predicted to encode a cellulose synthase-like (Csl) protein with homology to members of the CslA clade.
• Dinucleotide repeat-length polymorphism in the 5 UTR region of the Csl gene was associated with tiller number in diverse wheat germplasm and linked to expression differences of Csl transcripts between NILs.
