EUI1 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OS05G0482400 (EUI1) on rice chromosome 5 encodes a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, classified as EC 1.14.-.-, with oxidoreductase activity acting on paired donors, monooxygenase activity, iron binding and heme binding. The protein localises to the ER membrane and membrane. EUI1 is associated with gibberellin catabolism, brassinosteroid metabolism and homeostasis, regulation of pH, iron transport, organogenesis, and lipid metabolism. It has been linked to cell elongation, plant height, stem elongation, grain yield, grain size, leaf angle, panicle traits, and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to GA biosynthesis, dwarfism, and salt stress responses.
