GSC — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA000301 (GSC, OiGSC) on chromosome 1 of Indica rice encodes a fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) with a class I aldolase (FBA_I) domain and aldolase_TIM domain. The gene is associated with fructose 1,6-bisphosphate metabolism, glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the Calvin cycle, aerobic respiration, and sucrose anabolism. It is linked to redox signal response, anoxia and hypoxia responses, hydrogen peroxide response, detoxification, retrograde response, and regulation of seed germination. Associations include fruit development, seedling growth and development, root thickness, stomatal complex closure time, germinability at low temperature, high temperature stress response, oxidative stress response, disease tolerance, and salt tolerance (SALTTL). The product localises to the mitochondrial envelope, chloroplast thylakoid, thylakoid lumen, chloroplast envelope, vacuole, and cytosolic ribosome. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, heat stress response, salt stress tolerance, disease resistance, and seed germination.
