Function
Rc allele phenotypes. [1].
- Rc is a domestication-related gene required for red pericarp in rice (Oryza sativa).
- Rc encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein that was fine-mapped to an 18.5-kb region on rice chromosome 7 using a cross between Oryza rufipogon (red pericarp) and O. sativa cv Jefferson (white pericarp).
- Rc is a positive regulator of proanthocyanidin.
Expression
- Rc gene was expressed in both red- and white-grained rice but that a shortened transcript was present in white varieties.
