Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os08g0191433 <=> SSIIIa
Function
- SSIIa and SSIIIa play distinctive, but partially overlapping, roles during rice grain starch synthesis.
Mutation
- Transgenic RNA interference (RNAi) repressed lines for seven of the eight members of the rice SS gene family and studied their effects on starch synthesis and grain formation. Consistent with their expression domains, RNAi repression of genes that encode isozymes SSI, SSIIa, and SSIIIa had strong effects on grain development, whereas no obvious phenotypic changes were observed in transgenic plants with the other SS genes being RNAi repressed, indicating functional redundancies among the genes.
