Os01g0588900

The rice Os01g0588900 was reported as log in 2007 by researchers from the Japan.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os01g0588900 <=> log

Function

• The LONELY GUY (LOG) gene of rice is required to maintain meristem activity and its loss of function causes premature termination of the shoot meristem. LOG encodes a novel cytokinin-activating enzyme that works in the final step of bioactive cytokinin synthesis.

Expression

• LOG messenger RNA is specifically localized in shoot meristem tips, indicating the activation of cytokinins in a specific developmental domain
