“…It is the most highly expressed CSLF gene in most tissues of barley (Hordeum vulgare), wheat (Triticum aestivum), Brachypodium distachyon, and rice (Oryza sativa), including developing seedling leaf, coleoptiles, and endosperm (Burton et al, 2008;Kimpara et al, 2008;Doblin et al, 2009;Nemeth et al, 2010;Pellny et al, 2012;Vega-Sánchez et al, 2012;Suliman et al, 2013;Trafford et al, 2013;Schreiber et al, 2014). When CSLF6 expression is reduced either by knockdown or knockout via mutation or T-DNA insertion (Tonooka et al, 2009;Nemeth et al, 2010;Taketa et al, 2012;Vega-Sánchez et al, 2012;Hu et al, 2014), a significant reduction in MLG is observed in both vegetative and floral tissues, indicating its gene product is responsible for the synthesis of the majority of MLG in grasses.…”
