In this study , we characterized two rice ( Oryza sativa ) allelic rolled-leaf mutants , rolled leaf 9-1 ( rl9-1 ) and rl9-2 , which display very similar phenotypes with completely adaxialized leaves and malformed spikelets .
We cloned the RL9 gene by way of a map-based cloning strategy .
Molecular studies have revealed that RL9 encodes a GARP protein , an orthologue of Arabidopsis KANADIs .
RL9 is mainly expressed in roots , leaves , and flowers .
The transient expression of a RL9-GFP ( green fluorescent protein ) fusion protein has indicated that RL9 protein is localized in the nucleus , suggesting that RL9 acts as a putative transcription factor .
