Fig. S1The G to C mutation was confirmed by sequencing WT and pad.

Fig. S2 Domain prediction of the OsMCA1/PAD protein.Amino acids corresponding to OsMCA1/ PAD. Different colors represent the domains and their locations. STYKc domain (aa 6–70); coiled-coil domain (aa 189–217); PLAC8 domain (aa 298–396); TM1 (aa 8–30); and TM2 (aa 339–360).

Fig. S4 Expression profiles of the genes involve in GA metabolism in pad. QRT-PCR analysis of the genes involved in GAmetabolism in the uppermost (A) and second (B) internodes of WT and pad. The means ± SD were calculated from three biological replicates and values were determined by the Student’s t test.

Fig. S5 Phylogenetic tree of the putative homologs of OsMCA1/PAD proteins.Phylogenetic analysis of the putative OsMCA1/PAD homologs was performed using the neighbor-joining (NJ) method of MEGA 5.2. The number of bootstrap replicates was estimated at 1000, and gaps/missing sequences were deleted. The numbers in the branches indicate bootstrap values (percent). The bar on the bottom indicates the genetic distance based on 0.05 amino acid changes per residue.

Fig. S6Regulation model of OsMCA1/PAD on plant architecture defect by deactivationof bioactive GA in rice.OsMCA1/PADupregulated the expression of the genes for GA deactivation, resulting in reduction of bioactive GA contents. The lower bioactive GA contents lead to upregulate the expression of the genes for GA biosynthesis by feedback regulation cycles
