The rice gene Os05g0578900 was reported as nl1 in 2009[1] by researchers from China.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

  • Os05g0578900 <=> nl1, OsGATA15

Function

  • The NL1 gene encodes a GATA-type transcription factor with a single zinc finger domain, and its transcripts are detected predominantly in the bract primordia, which normally degenerate in the wild-type plants.
  • NL1 is an intrinsic factor that modulates and coordinates organogenesis through regulating the expression of PLA1 and other regulatory genes during reproductive development in rice.

Mutation

Figure 1 Mutants affecting the pattern formation during panicle development. [1].
  • nl1 mutation results in delays in flowering time, smaller panicles with overgrown bracts and abnormal UPI elongation patterns.

Overexpression

  • Overexpression of NL1 in transgenic plants often gives rise to severe growth retardation, less vegetative phytomers and smaller leaves, suggesting that NL1 plays an important role in organ differentiation.

Expression

  • The researchers investigated NL1 temporal and spatial expression patterns. NL1 was strongly expressed in young inflorescences and weakly expressed in the roots and elongating internodes as shown by RT-PCR analysis.
