GIF1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA036157 (GIF1) in Indica rice encodes a transcription coactivator with SS18_N domain, ATP binding, and protein binding activities, and is localized to the nucleus, cytoplasm, chloroplast envelope, and mitochondria. This gene is associated with the regulation of cell cycle, cell division, cell population proliferation, floral meristem determinacy, seed, leaf, and root development, as well as responses to gibberellin, red and far-red light, and nematodes. It has been connected to grain length, grain size, panicle number, rachis length, flowering time, leaf senescence, phosphorus uptake, and stress responses including drought, salinity, and low temperature tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to organ size, salt tolerance, phosphate deficiency tolerance, and plant regeneration.
