LOG1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA031196 (LOG1) in Indica rice encodes a protein with cytokinin riboside 5'-monophosphate phosphoribohydrolase activity, NADH:nitrate reductase activity, and molybdenum ion binding, and belongs to the LOG family. The gene is associated with cytokinin anabolism, nitric oxide anabolism, molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis, regulation of meristem development, and responses to light and symbiotic fungi. It localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, plasma membrane, mitochondria, and plant-type vacuole. Phenotypic associations include domestication, awn development, grain filling, seed development, and responses to drought, biotic and abiotic stress, and nitrogen. The gene is also linked to traits such as awn length, nitrate sensitivity and uptake, root and shoot meristem development, flowering time, disease tolerance, and yield components including grain number and weight. Related genes in other species are linked to nitrate reduction, nitric oxide production, and stomatal function.
