Os01g0869800

The rice gene Os01g0869800 was reported as qNPQ1-2 in 2011 by researchers from Japan.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os01g0869800 <=> qNPQ1-2,OsqNPQ1-2

Function

• qNPQ1-2 seems to be responsible for the difference in NPQ capacity between Indica and Japonica.
• Indica cultivars lack a 2.7-kb region at the point 0.4 kb upstream of the OsPsbS1 gene, suggesting evolutionary discrimination of this gene.

Mutation

• One of the two rice PsbS homologues (OsPsbS1) was found within the qNPQ1-2 region. PsbS protein was not accumulated in the leaf blade of the mutant harboring transferred DNA insertion in OsPsbS1.
• NPQ capacity increased as OsPsbS1 expression increased in a series of transgenic lines ectopically expressing OsPsbS1 in an Indica cultivar.
