FLP — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA026188 (FLP, OiFLP) on indica rice chromosome 7 encodes a MYB transcription factor with RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. The gene is associated with stomatal complex formation, guard mother cell division, regulation of stomatal complex patterning, plant epidermis development, leaf pavement cell development, and multicellular organismal water homeostasis. It has been linked to response to lipid, hormone, gravity, and virus, as well as regulation of cell wall organization, cell cycle G1/S phase transition, phenylpropanoid metabolism, shikimate metabolism, pigmentation, floral organ senescence, and upregulation of lateral root development. Associations with grain length, grain size, hull color, drought stress, and stress response have been noted. Related genes in other species link the family to stomatal development, megasporogenesis, and stomatal size.
