Abstract excerpt
A plant architecture with upright leaves promotes canopy photosynthesis, thus enhancing biomass production. Brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthesis has been positively linked with rice leaf angle; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain obscure. Here, we report that OsPIL13, a bHLH transcription factor, modulates rice (Oryza sativa L.) leaf angle by orchestrating BR biosynthesis. Phenotypic and cytological...
