Characterization of a null allelic mutant of the rice NAL1 gene reveals its role in regulating cell division.
Leaf morphology is closely associated with cell division.In rice, mutations in Narrow leaf 1 (NAL1) show narrow leaf phenotypes.Previous studies have shown that NAL1 plays a role in regulating vein patterning and increasing grain yield in indica cultivars, but its role in leaf growth and development remains unknown.In this report, we characterized
