Gene Symbol

  • Os09g0380200 <=> OsYCL1,ylc1

Function

  • The Young Leaf Chlorosis 1 (YLC1) gene was isolated via map-based cloning and identified to encode a protein of unknown function belonging to the DUF3353 superfamily.
  • The riceOsYLC1 may be involved in Chl and lutein accumulation and chloroplast development at early leaf development in rice.

Phenotypic analysis

  • The researchers characterized a rice mutant named young leaf chlorosis 1 (ylc1) from a 60 Co-irradiated population.
  • Young leaves of the ylc1 mutant showed decreased levels of Chl and lutein compared to those of wild type, and transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed that the thylakoid lamellar structures were obviously loosely arranged.
  • Whereas, the mutant turns green gradually and approaches normal green at the maximum tillering stage.

Subcellular localization

  • Subcellular localization analysis in rice protoplasts demonstrated that the first 50 N-terminal amino acid residues are essential and sufficient for the protein localization to the chloroplast.
