GSC — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA027739 (GSC, OiGSC) on Indica rice chromosome 8 encodes a fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) with aldolase_I_AS, FBA_I and Aldolase_TIM domains, and is also annotated for 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, seed germination regulation, fruit development, and detoxification. It localises to mitochondrial and chloroplast envelopes, thylakoid, vacuole, and cytosolic ribosome. Associations include low-temperature germinability, heat and oxidative stress responses, salt tolerance, disease tolerance, stomatal closure, root thickness, seedling growth, and cell organelle morphology. Related genes in other species link it to drought tolerance, seed size, germination rate, and disease resistance.
