OsMYB103L an R2R3-MYB transcription factor influences leaf rolling and mechanical strength in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

摘要

BackgroundThe shape of grass leaves possesses great value in both agronomy and developmental biology research. Leaf rolling is one of the important traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.) breeding. MYB transcription factors are one of the largest gene families and have important roles in plant development, metabolism and stress responses. However, little is known about their functions in rice.
