GILT — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OsGILT (OS01G0828200) on rice chromosome 1 encodes a protein with an Interferon-induced_GILT domain and oxidoreductase activity acting on a sulfur group of donors with disulfide as acceptor, and redox activity. The gene is associated with meristem development, maintenance, determinacy, and initiation, as well as periclinal cell division, shoot regeneration, floral meristem determinacy, and integument development. It is linked to hormone metabolism, including gibberellin and auxin biosynthesis, and to phytoalexin biosynthesis, hypersensitivity, nuclear import, and sexual reproduction. Associations with agronomic traits include grain number, weight, size, and shape, seed weight and dormancy, panicle number, culm number, plant height, leaf angle, stem elongation, rachis length, plastochron, inflorescence branching, anthesis time, and tolerances to submergence, salinity, and cold. The protein localizes to secretory vesicles, plant-type vacuoles, and extracellular space.
