CBL1 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OsCBL1 (Os02g0480800) encodes a calcineurin B-like protein containing EF-hand calcium-binding domains, and is annotated with calcium ion binding and kinase binding molecular functions. In rice, this gene is associated with calcium signaling, abscisic acid (ABA) signaling, regulation of photosynthesis, hypersensitivity, innate immunity, and seed germination. It is linked to raffinose anabolism, lignin anabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, secondary metabolism, lipid modification, lipolysis, protein storage, and nitric oxide storage. OsCBL1 is associated with chloroplast localization and localizes to the membrane, aleurone grain membrane, and plasmalemma. The gene has been connected to several agronomic traits, including salinity tolerance, cold tolerance, submergence tolerance, phosphorus content, protein content, chlorophyll content, and starch mobilization. Related genes in other species are linked to grain protein content.
