GID1 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

Rice gene GID1 (OS07G0606800) encodes a protein with a carboxylesterase domain and alpha/beta hydrolase fold, annotated with gibberellin binding, carboxylesterase, lyase, and hydrolase activities. It is associated with gibberellin signaling and biosynthesis, strigolactone anabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, isoflavonoid and flavonoid metabolism, floral organ morphogenesis, seed germination, root development, response to cold and defense response, and signal transduction. The protein localizes to the amyloplast, cytoplasm, and nucleus. GID1 is linked to plant height, stem elongation, culm diameter, submergence tolerance, germination rate, stomatal resistance, and parasitic weed. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to grain yield and relative growth rate.
