R2R3-MYB — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA033803 (symbol R2R3-MYB, also known as OiR2R3-MYB) on chromosome 11 of Indica rice encodes a protein belonging to the R2R3-MYB transcription factor family. The gene is associated with pigmentation and anthocyanin anabolism, as well as hull color, grain length, grain size, and the specific trait GRLG. It has been linked to leaf morphology, root system architecture, phosphate acquisition, and Pi homeostasis, and is associated with the related genes MYB60 and OsMYB60. Related genes in other species are associated with traits including leaf color, rolled leaf, flavonoid content, seed weight, grain number, plant height, heat tolerance, drought tolerance, and chlorophyll content.
