Annotated Information

'Fig. 1 Expression patterns of Osg1 in wild-type rice plants.'

Gene Symbol

• Os01g0947700 <=> Osg1

Function

• Osg1 encodes a glucanase carrying no C-terminal extension.
• Osg1 is essential for timely callose degradation in the process of tetrad dissolution

Expression

• Osg1 was found to be expressed throughout the plant and highly expressed in Xorets, leaf sheaths, and leaf blades.
• Osg1 was mainly expressed at the late meiosis, early microspore, and middle microspore stages in the Xorets.
• If suppressed expression of the Osg1 gene by RNA interference in transgenic rice. The silencing of Osg1 resulted in male sterility.
