NAL1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA028648 (NAL1, also known as OiNAL1 or PAY1) in indica rice on chromosome 8 encodes a protein with Nal1_N and Nal1_C domains and a Peptidase_S1_PA domain. The gene is associated with grain number, yield, panicle architecture, plant height, tillering capacity, tiller angle, leaf size and thickness, flag leaf width, spikelet number, grain appearance and quality, root volume, biomass, and photosynthetic rate. It is linked to gibberellin and brassinosteroid signaling, auxin transport, jasmonic acid, nitrogen content, and cell cycle modulation. Annotated biological processes include stem and leaf vascular tissue pattern formation, internode patterning, regulation of leaf development and cell division, and S phase. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm.
