PL — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA003821 (PL, also known as EGL1, BHLH012, and MYC6.2) on chromosome 1 of Indica rice encodes a protein with a bHLH domain, MYC/MYB_N domain, and HLH DNA-binding superfamily domain, and is annotated with DNA binding, transcription coactivator activity, protein dimerization activity, and protein kinase activity. The gene is associated with the regulation of trichome spacing and morphogenesis, trichoblast fate specification, stomatal complex formation, proanthocyanidin and mucilage anabolism, and sucrose-mediated signaling. It is linked to leaf elongation, root hair production and elongation, and root epidermal cell patterning. Associations extend to grain shape, grain color, seed set percent, thousand-kernel weight, stem dry weight, phosphate content, cadmium concentration, UV light sensitivity, and plant nutrient response traits. The protein localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, plasmalemma, mitochondria, root hair, and vesicle.
