GW5 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA004846 (GW5, also known as OiIQD27) encodes an uncharacterized protein. In indica rice, GW5 is associated with grain size. The gene is linked to panicle weight, shoot dry weight, harvest index, heterosis, grain width, grain length, grain weight, and grain yield. GW5 has been connected to cell proliferation, spikelet, grain, domestication, grain shape, stress, stress tolerance, yield, salt stress, resistance, and salt. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus and is annotated to the biological processes of genetic transfer and HDR. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed size, grain thickness, amylose content, and plant cell shape.
