Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os02g0190600 <=> b-OsLCY
Function
- Lycopene b-cyclase (b-OsLCY), which are essential for the biosynthesis of carotenoid precursors of ABA.
- The impairment of carotenoid biosynthesis causes photo-oxidation and ABA-deficiency phenotypes, of which the latter is a major factor controlling the PHS trait in rice.
Mutant
- OsLCY RNAi transgenic rice indicated that photo-oxidative damage occurred in PS II, consistent with the accumulation of ROS in these plants.
