Os06g0162800

The rice Os01g0909200 was reported as OsDCL in 2005 by researchers from the USA.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os01g0909200 <=> OsDCL,DCL

Function

• The SEPALLATA-like MADSbox genes are required for the specification of sepals, petals, stamens and carpels, and for floral determinacy, thus defining class E floral organ identity genes. SEP-like genes encode MADS-domain transcription factors and constitute an angiosperm-specific gene clade whose members show remarkably different degrees of redundancy and sub-functionalization within eudicots.

Mutant

• Simultaneous knockdown of the four rice SEP-like genes OsMADS1, OsMADS5, OsMADS7 and OsMADS8, leads to homeotic transformation of all floral organs except the lemma into leaf-like organs.
