Function

NAL1_ORYSJ Involved in the regulation of lateral leaf growth (PubMed:18562767, PubMed:22179305, PubMed:23985993). May be involved in the regulation of basipetal polar auxin transport (PAT) and vascular patterning in leaves (PubMed:18562767). Controls photosynthesis rate by regulating carboxylation efficiency and consequently photosynthesis rate (PubMed:23985993). Controls panicle and spikelet numbers, and grain yield (PubMed:23985993, PubMed:24297875, PubMed:24795339).^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}
