Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os09g0521900 <=> OsGEN-L
Function
- OsGEN-L plays an essential role in DNA metabolism required for early microspore development in rice.
Mutant
- To elucidate the function of OsGEN-L, the researchers generated rice OsGEN-L-RNAi transgenic plants in which OsGEN-L expression was silenced. Most of the OsGEN-L-RNAi plants displayed low fertility, and some of them were male-sterile. OsGEN-L-RNAi plants lacked mature pollen, resulting from a defect in early microspore development.
