Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os06g0116400 <=> ZN, OsZN
Function
- ZN encodes a thylakoid-bound protein which is essential for chloroplast biogenesis during early leaf development.
- ZN is required for protecting developing chloroplasts, especially during the assembly of thylakoid protein complexes, from incidental light after darkness.
Mutation
- zn phenotype is formed by unequal impairment of chloroplast biogenesis before emergence from the leaf sheath under alternate light/dark or high/low temperatures (restrictive), but not under constant light and temperature (permissive) conditions.
Expression
- Expression analyses of OsZN showed that it is expressed only in the shoot organs, with the highest levels found in younger leaf tissues, but not in the roots.
Evolution
You can also add sub-section(s) at will.
