Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Relative leaf growth rate was 16% higher in BRI1(Y831F) plants than in BRI1 plants.
- Intervention effect Leaves of BRI1(Y831F) plants had substantially increased vascularization.
- Intervention effect Expression of genes for brassinolide biosynthesis, secondary cell wall biosynthesis and vascular development was altered in BRI1(Y831F) plants, which may contribute to the leaf changes.
- Intervention effect Expression of genes for regulation of growth was altered in BRI1(Y831F) plants, which may contribute to the leaf changes.
- Intervention effect Y831F mutant plants had higher rates of photosynthesis than BRI1 plants.
- Intervention effect Starch and sucrose accumulated more in BRI1(Y831F) plants.
- Intervention effect Several amino acids accumulated more in BRI1(Y831F) plants, most prominently glycine and proline.
- Intervention effect The gain of function of the Y831F-directed mutant was dominant in the wild-type background.
