Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os11g0689300 <=> OsPCBP
Function
- OsPCBP protein plays an important role during the late stage of pollen development
Expression
- OsPCBPexpression in transgenic lines via RT-PCR showed that a significant reduction in transcripts was correlated with this abortion phenotype.
Evolution
- Overexpression of OsPCBP in transgenic rice plants did not lead to phenotypic changes but did delay anther formation by about 1 week. Cytological observations at different stages revealed that microspores from the OsPCBP double-stranded RNA interference plants developed normally until the binucleate stage, but about half were later aborted.
