LOG1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA039998 (LOG1) in Indica rice encodes a cytokinin riboside 5'-monophosphate phosphoribohydrolase, a member of the LOG family. This gene is associated with cytokinin anabolism, regulation of meristem development, and broader developmental processes. It has also been linked to nitric oxide storage. The encoded protein localizes to both the cytosol and nucleus. LOG1 is associated with awn length. Studies of related genes in other species further connect this gene family to cytokinin metabolism and developmental regulation.
