Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os03g0669100 <=> RGB1
Cooperate Gene
- RGA1
Function
- Gbc and Ga cooperatively function in cellular proliferation and seed fertility
Mutation
- RGB1 knock-down lines were generated in the wild type and d1-5, a mutant deficient for the heterotrimeric G protein a-subunit (Ga) gene (RGA1). Both transgenic lines showed browning of the lamina joint regions and nodes that could be attributed to a reduction of RGB1 function, as the abnormality was not observed in d1-5. The RGB1 knock-down lines generated in d1-5 were shorter, suggesting RGB1 to be a positive regulator of cellular proliferation, in addition to RGA1. The number of sterile seeds also increased in both RGB1 knock-down lines.
