Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os05g0477600 <=> OsEXP4
Function
- The researchers generated transgenic rice plants that express sense and antisense constructs of the expansin gene OsEXP4.
Expression
- In adult plants with constitutive OsEXP4 expression, 12% of overexpressors were taller and 88% were shorter than the average control plants, and most overexpressors developed at least two additional leaves. Antisense plants were shorter and flowered earlier than the average control plants.
Mutant
- In transgenic plants with inducible OsEXP4 expression, we observed a close correlation between OsEXP4 protein levels and seedling growth. Coleoptile and mesocotyl length increased by up to 31 and 97%, respectively, in overexpressors, whereas in antisense seedlings, they decreased by up to 28 and 43%, respectively.
