MOC1 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

Rice gene MOC1 (OS06G0610300) on chromosome 6 encodes a protein. In rice, MOC1 is associated with axillary meristem, tillering, tiller, tiller number, culm, meristem, and tiller bud outgrowth. The gene is also associated with seed shattering, spikelet number, days to heading, meristem identity, grain yield, growth, and grain. Ontology annotations link MOC1 to meristem initiation and development, organogenesis, cell division, cell cycle, anaphase, DNA repair, abscission, GA-signaling, ABA signaling, seed germination, regulation of seed germination, and hypersensitivity. Related genes in other species are associated with shoot and branching in Arabidopsis and spikelet in wheat.
