SL5 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA027825 (SL5, also known as OiSL5, OiHUA2, ART1, HULK1) on chromosome 8 of Indica rice encodes a protein with ENTH/VHS, CID and PWWP domains that exhibits DNA-binding transcription factor activity, protein heterodimerization and homodimerization activity, and mRNA binding. The gene is associated with downregulation of short-day and long-day photoperiodism, flowering, upregulation of circadian rhythm, red/far-red light signaling, citrate secretion, maintenance of floral organ identity, pistil development, anthocyanin accumulation in response to UV light, and regulation of vegetative phase change. Associations with agronomic traits include photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, days to flowering, inflorescence number, floral organ size, chlorophyll content, stomatal resistance, leaf senescence, root morphology, and temperature stress response. The protein localizes to the nucleus and chromatin.
