Annotated Information
Function
OsGL1-4 , OsGL1-5, OsGL1-6 , and OsGL1-7 are closely related to Arabidopsis CER1 that is involved in cuticular wax biosynthesis[1].
Expression
- The genes OsGL1-4 and OsGL1-7 had no or very faint expression in all the samples[1].
- According to the expression profiles, the genes in the OsGL1 family can be classified into two groups: tissue- or organ-specific expressed genes (OsGL1-1–7) that were expressed in very few tissue/organs and constitutively expressed genes (OsGL1-8–11) that were expressed in most of the tissue/organs[1].
Evolution
The sequence of OsGL1-7 is different because it has only two motifs (motif 3 and 6), which constitute the C-terminal region of a typical GL-like protein. OsGL1-4, -5, -6, and -7 were classified into group II and they have low sequence similarity(30%~40%). OsGL1-7 are very similar to CER1 (AT1g02205) indicating that it may be CER1 homologues in rice[1].
Knowledge Extension
The outermost surfaces of plants are covered with an epicuticular wax layer that provides a primary waterproof barrier and protection against different environmental stresses. Glossy 1 (GL1) is one of the reported genes controlling wax synthesis[1].
