BRITTLE CULM1, Which Encodes a COBRA-Like Protein, Affects the Mechanical Properties of Rice Plants
Open accessAbstract
Plant mechanical strength is an important agronomic trait. To understand the molecular mechanism that controls the plant mechanical strength of crops, we characterized the classic rice mutant brittle culm1 (bc1) and isolated BC1 using a map-based cloning approach. BC1, which encodes a COBRA-like protein, is expressed mainly in developing sclerenchyma cells and in vascular bundles of rice. In these types of cells, mutations in BC1 cause not only a reduction in cell wall thickness and cellulose content but also an increase in lignin level, suggesting that BC1, a gene that controls the mechanical strength of monocots, plays an important role in the biosynthesis of the cell walls of mechanical tissues.

“Based on hydrophobicity analysis using a method described by Kyte and Doolittle (1982), BC1 has a hydrophobic N-terminal signal peptide and a highly hydrophobic peptide at its C terminus and is predicted to be GPI anchored based on the big-PI Predictor (Eisenhaber et al., 2000) and PSORT (Nakai and Horton, 1999) progr…”

“Mutations in BC1 Result in Brittle Plants 2021 for many important physiological functions, including signal transduction (Peles et al., 1997), parasitic evasion of host immune responses (Ferguson et al., 1994), and cell-to-cell recognition and nutrient uptake (Rothberg et al., 1990).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
