Os07g0583700

The rice gene Os07g0583700 was reported as OsWRKY87 in 2011 by researchers from China.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os07g0583700 <=> OsWRKY87, OsSUSIBA2-like

Function

• OsWRKY78 may acts as a stem elongation and seed development regulator in rice.

Mutation

• OsWRKY78 RNAi and overexpression transgenic rice lines were generated. Transgenic plants with OsWRKY78 overexpression exhibited a phenotype identical to the wild type, whereas inhibition of OsWR KY78 expression resulted in a semi-dwarf and small kernel phenotype due to reduced cell length in transgenic plants. In addition, a T-DNA insertion mutant line oswrky78 was identified and a phenotype similar to that of RNAi plants was also observed.

Expression

• Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed that OsWRKY78 transcript was most abundant in elongating stems though its expression was detected in all the tested organs. The expression profiles were further confirmed by using promoter- GUS analysis in transgenic rice. OsWRKY78::GFP fusion gene transient expression analysis demonstrated that OsWRKY78 targeted to the nuclei of onion epidermal cell.
