Os04g0271700

The rice Os04g0271700 was reported as OscZOG1 in 2015 by researchers from China.

Annotated Information

Function

• Putative zeatin O-glucosyltransferase OscZOG1 regulates root and shoot development and formation of agronomic traits in rice

Expression

• We found that OscZOG1 was preferentially expressed in shoot and root meristematic tissues and nascent organs.
• The growth of lateral roots was stimulated in the overexpression lines, but inhibited in RNA interference lines.
• In shoots, knockdown of OscZOG1 expression by RNA interference significantly improved tillering, panicle branching, grain number per panicle and seed size, which are important agronomic traits for grain yield.

Subcellular localization

• The resulting fragment was introduced into 35S-GFP-JFH1 vector with the restriction sites XhoI and SpeI to generate a Cterminal GFP fusion construct. The OscZOG1-GFP constructs were transferred into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101. Subcellular localization analysis showed that OscZOG1 was found to be localized both in cytoplasm and nucleus.
