LOG1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA016764 (LOG1) on chromosome 4 of Indica rice encodes a protein of the LOG family with cytokinin riboside 5'-monophosphate phosphoribohydrolase activity. It also carries annotations for NADH:nitrate reductase activity, molybdenum ion binding, and FAD binding, and is linked to molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis, cytokinin and nitric oxide anabolism, and regulation of meristem development. The gene is associated with domestication, awn development, seed development, grain filling, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses including drought and nitrogen availability. It has been connected to traits such as awn length, nitrate sensitivity and uptake, root meristem development, flowering time, disease tolerance, and yield components including grain number and weight. Related genes in other species are linked to nitrate assimilation, nitric oxide production, and stomatal function.
