OS06G0274950 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OS06G0274950, a rice gene on chromosome 6, encodes an uncharacterized protein. In rice, it is associated with chlorophyll a anabolism, photoperiodism, photomorphogenesis, de-etiolation, circadian rhythm, flower formation, GA signaling, seed development, carbohydrate transport, demethylation, and signal transduction. The gene has been linked to numerous agronomic traits, including heading time, days to heading, basic vegetative phase, anthesis time, grain yield per plant, grain weight, grain number, panicle number, panicle length, spikelet number, tiller number, plant height, culm length, culm strength, seed size, amylose content, starch gelatinization temperature, protein content, cold tolerance, hybrid incompatibility, and heterosis. Related genes in other species are linked to similar processes, though this is not established for the rice gene.
