Gene expression in leaf blades of the rice Os-LBD37 overexpressor line RK16331-13

The 5th and 6th leaf blades of the rice Os-LBD37 overexpressor line RK16331-13 and the empty vector control line FOX3 were examined. LBD37 belongs to the plant- specific LOB- (Lateral Organ Boundary) domain family proteins first characterized in Arabidopsis. Results point towards an involvement of the rice LBD37 (OsLBD37) ortholog of Arabidopsis in nitrogen metabolism- and senescence- related processes.
