Gene Symbol
- Os02g0152500 <=> OsVIL2,VIL2
Function
- OsVIL2 functions with PRC2 to induce flowering by repressing OsLFL1 in rice
- OsVIL2 contains a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger, which is a conserved motif of histone binding proteins.
- OsVIL2 is bound to native histone H3 in vitro.
- OsVIL2 physically interacts with OsEMF2b, a component of polycomb repression complex 2
Expression
- The osvil2 mutants displayed several phenotypic alterations in their leaf angle, tiller number, floret development and flowering time when grown in a paddy field. Leaf angles were increased in the mutants, as previously observed (Zhao et al., 2010).
- The mutants also had fewer tillers, with the number decreasing from an average of 17 (in the wild type, WT) to seven or eight (in osvil2).
- In addition, the mutant displayed an abnormal floret structure: the palea was depressed and the number of empty glumes was reduced (Figure S2). Each mutant spikelet also had an extra lodicule (Figure S2).
