Os06g0133900

The rice Os06g0133900 was reported as epsps in 2014 by researchers from China.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os06g0133900 <=> OsEPSPS,epsps

Function

• Overproduction of EPSPS can significantly increase plant growth and seed production in crop–weed hybrids of rice.
• Overexpressed epsps may be useful to breeders and, if deployed, could result in fitness benefits in weedy relatives following transgene introgression.

Phenotypic analysis

• The researchers found that transgenic F2 crop–weed hybrids produced 48–125% more seeds per plant than nontransgenic controls in monoculture- and mixed-planting designs without glyphosate application.
• Transgenic plants also had greater EPSPS protein levels, tryptophan concentrations, photosynthetic rates, and per cent seed germination compared with nontransgenic controls.
