GW5 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA003267, also known as GW5, encodes a protein. In indica rice, this gene is associated with grain size. It is also associated with panicle weight, shoot dry weight, grain width, harvest index, grain length, heterosis, grain weight, and grain yield. The gene is linked to cell proliferation, spikelet, grain, and domestication. GW5 is also associated with stress, stress tolerance, yield, salt stress, resistance, and salt. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the IQD family to seed size, grain thickness, amylose content, and drought sensitivity.
