Outgrowth of Rice Tillers Requires Availability of Glutamine in the Basal Portions of Shoots

Abstract Background Our previous studies concluded that metabolic disorder in the basal portions of rice shoots caused by a lack of cytosolic glutamine synthetase1;2 (GS1;2) resulted in a severe reduction in the outgrowth of tillers. Rice mutants lacking GS1;2 (gs1;2 mutants) showed a remarkable red...
