Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a rice PAL1 gene, an encoding protein and use thereof. The rice PAL1 gene has the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, and the rice PAL1 protein has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 4. Mutation of the gene leads to reduction of rice plant height and panicle length, while decreasing the number of primary branches, secondary branches and grains per panicle. It is found that the PAL1 gene can restore a mutant panicle type to a normal phenotype. The present disclosure provides a PAL1 gene functioning as a regulator of the rice panicle length and an encoding protein thereof. A rice panicle type is an important trait influencing rice yield. Therefore, it will be desired to directionally design a plant type and improve the rice yield by regulating panicle traits of rice with the PAL1 gene.
