Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os09g0488000 <=> OsGNA1, GNA1
Function
- OsGNA1 gene encodes a glucosamine-6-P acetyltransferase (designated OsGNA1), which is involved in de novo UDPN- acetylglucosamine biosynthesis. Protein glycosylation plays a key role in cell metabolism, microtubule stabilization, and cell shape in rice roots.
Mutation
- gna1 mutant exhibits a temperature-sensitive defect in root elongation was isolated.
- The aberrant root morphology of the gna1 mutant includes shortening of roots, disruption of microtubules, and shrinkage of cells in the root elongation zone.
