GO — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

Os03g0790600 (GO/OsCOP2/OsAMP1/OsHPT) encodes a metallocarboxypeptidase with peptidase M28 and PA domains, localised to the ER and plasma membrane. The gene is associated with vitamin E biosynthesis, meristem maintenance and determinacy, floral organ identity, seed maturation and longevity, leaf and vascular development, plant height, panicle length, root length, chlorophyll content, and responses to cold, drought, oxidative stress and ABA. It is linked to regulation of seed maturation, miRNA-mediated gene silencing, mitochondrial translation, phosphate homeostasis, and organ senescence. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to shoot apical meristem size, cytokinin levels, flowering time, embryo and endosperm development, seed germination, and tolerance to dehydration, freezing and high temperature.
