Leaf angle is an important agronomic trait and influences crop architecture and yield. Studies have demonstrated the roles of phytohormones, particularly auxin and brassinosteroids, and various factors in controlling leaf inclination. However, the underlying mechanism especially the upstream regulatory networks still need being clarified. Here we report the functional characterization of rice leaf inclination3 (LC3), a SPOC domain-containing transcription suppressor, in regulating leaf inclination through interacting with LIP1 (LC3-interacting protein 1), a HIT zinc finger domain-containing protein. LC3 deficiency results in increased leaf inclination and enhanced expressions of OsIAA12 and OsGH3.2. Being consistent, transgenic plants with OsIAA12 overexpression or deficiency of OsARF17 which interacts with OsIAA12 do present enlarged leaf inclination. LIP1 directly binds to promoter regions of OsIAA12 and OsGH3.2, and interacts with LC3 to synergistically suppress auxin signaling. Our study demonstrate the distinct effects of IAA12-ARF17 interactions in leaf inclination regulation, and provide informative clues to elucidate the functional mechanism of SPOC domain-containing transcription suppressor and fine-controlled network of lamina joint development by LC3-regulated auxin homeostasis and auxin signaling through. Leaf angle is a major trait of ideal architecture of crops that associates with photosynthetic efficiency and yields. Studies of the underlying mechanism will greatly help to improve the crop yield. Phytohormones especially auxin and brassinosteroids play crucial roles in regulating the leaf inclination, however, the upstream regulatory network is still unknown. Here, we functionally characterize a novel SPOC domain-containing protein LC3 (leaf inclination3) in lamina joint development through regulating auxin signaling. LC3 deficiency results in the excessive cell elongation at lamina joint adaxial side and hence the enlarged leaf angle. LC3 acts as a transcription suppressor through interacting with LIP1 (LC3-interacting protein 1, a HIT zinc finger domain-containing transcription factor), which directly binds to the promoters of auxin signaling and homeostasis related genes. Our studies provide new insights in the functional mechanism of SPOC domain-containing proteins and help to elucidate how auxin signaling is regulated during lamina joint development.
