    Abstract: Novel gibberellin 2-oxidase (GA2ox) genes were identified. Differential expression of GA2ox genes correlated with flower development, seed germination, tiller growth and other developmental processes. In addition, the early and increased growth of tiller and adventitious root and altered root architecture caused by overexpression of GA2oxs further suggest the pleiotropic role of GA2oxs in controlling growth and architecture in plants such as rice. GA2ox5, GA2ox6 and GA2ox9 were three genes encoding class C20 GA2oxs in rice. Mutants or transgenic rice overexpressing class C20 GA2oxs exhibited a broad range of mutant phenotypes, including semi-dwarfism, increased root system and higher tiller numbers that may favor grain yield. Mutations in the conserved domain III were found to affect the physiological activity of class C20 GA2oxs. Methods are described for controlling plant growth and architecture by controlling gene expression of gibberellin 2-oxidase in the plant.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides fusion proteins comprising a carbohydrate recognition domain of an innate immunity receptor and a heterologous polypeptide. The fusion proteins of the disclosure may be used, for example, to fingerprint polysaccharide compositions and to purify polysaccharide compositions. Polysaccharide compositions include those isolated from Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi). The methods and reagents of the disclosure may also be used to identify innate immunity receptors and cell types that bind to polysaccharide compositions (including polysaccharide compositions associated with pathogens), whereupon modulators of the identified receptors can then be obtained. The fusion proteins also may be used to inhibit the interaction between a polysaccharide composition and an innate immunity receptor on a cell surface. The methods and reagents of the disclosure are used in one example to determine that the DLVR1 innate immunity receptor on macrophages interacts with Dengue virus (DV), and that DLVR1 is responsible for DV-mediated secretion of proinflammatory cytokines from macrophages. The disclosure also provides DVLR1 antibodies that prevent the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines by DV-infected macrophages.
