GID1 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

Rice GID1 (OS03G0790500) encodes a protein with an alpha/beta hydrolase fold and domains including Lipase_GDXG_put_SER_AS, Carboxylest/Gibb_receptor, AB_hydrolase_3, and AB_hydrolase_fold. It is annotated for gibberellin binding, carboxylesterase, lyase, and 2-hydroxyisoflavanone dehydratase activities. The gene is associated with gibberellin biosynthesis and signaling, hormone metabolism, strigolactone anabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, isoflavonoid and flavonoid anabolism, alkaloid metabolism, protein breakdown, floral organ morphogenesis, seed germination, root development, response to gibberellin, response to cold, defense response, and signal transduction. Traits associated with GID1 include plant height, stem diameter and elongation, culm diameter, germination rate, stomatal resistance, submergence tolerance, and parasitic weed interactions. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm, nucleus, and amyloplast. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to grain yield, seed dormancy, heterosis, and relative growth rate.
