ODO1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA022649 (ODO1) on chromosome 6 of Indica rice encodes an uncharacterized protein with a Myb DNA-binding domain and SANT/Myb domain, localised to the nucleus. It is associated with the regulation of primary metabolic processes, the shikimate pathway, pigmentation, anthocyanin and lignin anabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthesis, circadian rhythm, and responses to wounding and other organisms. The gene has been connected to grain length, grain size, and hull colour. Studies of related R2R3-MYB family members in other species link the family to traits including flavonoid and lignin content, leaf colour and shape, seed weight and size, grain number, heat tolerance, and chlorophyll content.
