GSC — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA019844 (GSC, OiGSC) on chromosome 5 of Indica rice encodes a fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) with an aldolase TIM barrel domain, and is also annotated with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, voltage-gated anion channel, histone acetyltransferase, salicylic acid binding, and copper binding activities. The gene is associated with glycolytic and gluconeogenic processes, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate metabolism, aerobic respiration, redox and anoxia/hypoxia responses, sucrose anabolism and response, seed germination regulation, fruit development, and detoxification. It is linked to traits including germinability at low temperature, heat and oxidative stress response, disease tolerance, salt tolerance, stomatal complex closure time, root thickness, and seedling growth and development. Localisation evidence connects the product to the mitochondrial envelope, chloroplast thylakoid, vacuole, and cytosolic ribosome. Related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, seedling growth, and enzyme activity.
