GIF1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA011496 (GIF1) in Indica rice encodes a protein with an SS18_N domain and is annotated with transcription coactivator activity, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, ATP binding, and protein binding. It is associated with seed and leaf development, cell division and proliferation, floral meristem determinacy, root development, and responses to gibberellin, red and far-red light, and nematodes. The protein localises to the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and chloroplast envelope. GIF1 is linked to grain length, grain size, panicle number, rachis length, flowering time, leaf senescence, root morphology, phosphorus uptake, and tolerance to drought, salinity, low temperature and disease. Related genes in other species connect GIF1 to organ size, leaf cell proliferation, salt and phosphate deficiency tolerance, fruit production, plant regeneration, and pollen and anther development.
