Gene Symbol
- Os04g0557500 <=> OSB2,OsOSB2
Function
- OSB2 locates on the Purple leaf (Pl) locus of rice (Oryza sativa L.) which affects regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis in various plant tissues.
- The cDNA of OSB2 shows significant identity to the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins found in the maize R gene family.
- A transient complementation assay showed that the anthocyanin pathway is inducible by OSB1 or OSB2.
