Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- AB433345_DQ991205 <=> qSW5, OsqSW5
Function
- qSW5 gene may control cell number of the outer glume of the rice flower. As the Nipponbare allele of qSW5 behaves in a recessive manner in inheritance, it might have acquired a defect during domestication.
Mutation
- The researchers found that a deletion in qSW5 resulted in a significant increase in sink size owing to an increase in cell number in the outer glume of the rice flower; this trait might have been selected by ancient humans to increase yield of rice grains.
