ODO1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA005676 (ODO1) on chromosome 2 of Indica rice encodes a R2R3-MYB transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA-binding activity, localised to the nucleus. The gene is associated with carboxylic acid anabolism, regulation of primary metabolic process, the shikimate pathway, pigmentation, regulation of lignin anabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, circadian rhythm, response to wounding, and response to other organism. It has been connected to hull color, grain length, and grain size. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to rolled leaf, leaf angle, cellulose content, chlorophyll content, heat tolerance, and grain number.
