The rice Os12g0189500 was reported as OsYUC11 in 2012 by researchers from Australia.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os04g0459000 <=> OsYUCCA11, OsYUC11

Function

• IAA production in developing rice grains is controlled via expression of OsTAR1, OsYUC9, OsYUC11 and that IAA may be important during starch deposition in addition to its previously suggested role early in grain development.

Expression

• OsYUC11 was expressed in endosperm, the expression of OsYUC11 appeared to be confined to endosperm tissue

Evolution

• Phylogenetic analysis indicated that OsYUC11 and AtYUC10 belong to a separate clade of YUCCAs, which do not have orthologues outside the Angiosperms. This clade may have evolved with a specific role in endosperm.
