PHR2 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

Os03g0343400, designated PHR2 in rice (Oryza sativa Japonica) on chromosome 3, encodes a protein with DNA photolyase activity, including CPD and (6-4) photolyase activity, and FAD and DNA binding. It belongs to the cryptochrome/DNA photolyase family. PHR2 is associated with phosphorus utilization and homeostasis, phosphate use efficiency, and root hair growth and elongation. It has been linked to strigolactone and glycerolipid anabolism, phospholipid breakdown, galactose metabolism, and photoreactive repair. The gene is connected to traits including grain yield, plant height, tiller number, panicle length, root volume, root hair length, crown rootless, and phosphorus concentration. It localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to phosphorous starvation response.
