AP1 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OsAP1 (OS03G0122600) encodes a MADS-box transcription factor with RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding and transcription corepressor activities, and it is associated with protein homodimerization and heterodimerization. In rice, this gene is associated with floral organ development, including stamen formation, carpel identity specification, and floral whorl morphogenesis, as well as meristem determinacy and maintenance of inflorescence meristem identity. It is linked to agronomically important traits such as grain plumpness, panicle length, days to heading, spikelet sterility, and yield. The gene is also linked to photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, leaf curling, and responses to UV light and brassinosteroids. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to floral transition, flower senescence, and seed yield.
