GW5 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OS05G0187500 (GW5, also known as IQD25, OsIQD26, OsIQD27, IQD26, IQD27, or OsIQD25) on rice chromosome 5 encodes a protein containing a DUF4005 domain and an IQ motif EF-hand binding site. The gene is associated with grain size, grain shape, grain width, grain length, grain thickness, grain weight, grain yield, seed size, seed development, amylose content, protein content, panicle weight, stigma exsertion, heterosis, and grain appearance. It has been connected to cell proliferation, plasma membrane localization, spikelet development, domestication, stress tolerance, salt stress, and resistance. The encoded product is also linked to vascular transport, mating, and nuclear localization.
