BG1 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OS05G0495900 (BG1, also known as Gns8) encodes a glycosyl hydrolase family 17 protein with glucan exo-1,3-beta-glucosidase, cellulase, lichenase, and glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase activities. The gene is associated with downregulation of photosynthesis, regulation of photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, cytokinin transport, MAPK cascade, stomatal movement, lateral root development, and 1,3-beta-glucan breakdown. The product localizes to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, ER, Golgi, plasmodesmata, and secretory vesicles. BG1 is associated with grain yield, grain weight, grain length, grain shape, grain number, seed size, amylose content, protein content, plant height, panicle length, leaf length, and sucrose content. It is also associated with brittle culm, embryoless seed, grain filling period, nitrate uptake, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, salt tolerance, drought, disease resistance, systemic acquired resistance, and anthocyanin accumulation.
