MYB — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA005842 (OiMYB) on chromosome 2 of Indica rice encodes a protein with SANT/Myb and homeodomain-like domains, localised to the nucleus and annotated with DNA binding, RNA polymerase binding, and transcriptional co-regulator activities. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including circadian regulation of gene expression, photoperiodism and flowering, pigmentation, meristem development, leaf senescence, dedifferentiation, regeneration, cell cycle control, calcium signaling, phospholipid breakdown, and green leaf volatile biosynthesis. It has been linked to numerous agronomic traits such as grain yield, grain length, grain number, grain size, hull color, rolled leaf, culm diameter, shoot fresh and dry weight, leaf chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, cold tolerance, temperature stress response, flowering time, germination rate, callus induction, and heterosis.
