STR1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA020857 (symbol STR1, also known as TGW6 or OiTGW6) on chromosome 6 of Indica rice encodes a strictosidine synthase conserved region domain-containing protein with strictosidine synthase and hydrolase activities. This gene is associated with yield and breeding, and is linked to carbohydrate storage, starch anabolism, indole alkaloid metabolism, alkaloid anabolism, and NO storage. The encoded product localizes to the endomembrane system and vacuole. Associations include grain thickness, shape, width, length, size, yield, and photosynthetic ability. Related genes in other species link the family to grain weight, auxin, IAA, pollen development, and development.
