Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os07g0129700 <=> OSH15,H15
Function
- Homeobox genes encode a large family of homeodomain proteins that play a key role in the pattern formation of animal embryos.
- By analogy, homeobox genes in plants are thought to mediate important processes in their embryogenesis.
Phenotypic analysis
- Over-expression of OSH15 and OSH71 Induces Ectopic Meristems on Leaf Sheaths.
- Over-expression of OSH6 and OSH43 Induces Ligule Displacement in Transgenic Plants.
Knowledge Extension
- Many homeobox genes encode transcription factors with regulatory roles in animal and plant development.
- Homeobox genes are found in almost all eukaryotes, and have diversified into 11 gene classes and over 100 gene families in animal evolution, and 10 to 14 gene classes in plants.
- The largest group in animals is the ANTP class which includes the well-known Hox genes, plus other genes implicated in development including ParaHox (Cdx, Xlox, Gsx), Evx, Dlx, En, NK4, NK3, Msx, and Nanog. [2].
