AP2 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA002707 (symbol AP2, also known as OiAP2) on chromosome 1 of Indica rice encodes an uncharacterized protein. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including regulation of cellular processes, signal transduction, endocytosis, auxin transport, and responses to cytokinin and abscisic acid. It has also been linked to SAM metabolic process, methionine metabolism, lipogenesis, fatty acid anabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and NO storage. The gene is associated with several agronomically important traits, such as grain yield, grain weight, grain length and width, grain number, spikelet fertility and sterility, panicle length, tiller number, plant height, and cold tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to panicle number, leaf angle, and proline content.
