Annotated Information
Figure 2. Subcellular localization and transactivation analysis of OsMYB103L.[1].
Function
- OsMYB103L encodes an R2R3-MYB transcription factor.
- OsMYB103L may target CESA genes for regulation of cellulose synthesis and could potentially be engineered for desirable leaf shape and mechanical strength in rice.
Phenotypic analysis
- Expression levels of several cellulose synthase genes (CESAs) were significantly increased, as was the cellulose content in OsMYB103L overexpressing lines.
- Knockdown of OsMYB103L by RNA interference led to a decreased level of cellulose content and reduced mechanical strength in leaves. Meanwhile, the expression levels of several CESA genes were decreased in these knockdown lines.
Subcellular localization
- OsMYB103L was localized in the nucleus with transactivation activity.
