Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os08g0189200 <=> OsGLP8
Function
- OsDMC1 is essential for rice meiosis and plays an important role in homologous pairing.
Evolution
- The OsDMC1–RNAi lines grew normally during their vegetative phase but showed spikelet and pollen sterility. The sterility phenotypes were associated with down-regulated OsDMC1 transcript and protein levels mediated by RNAi. Further cytological observations of male meiocytes revealed that knock-down of OsDMC1 led to defects in bivalent formation and subsequent unequal chromosome segregation and irregular spore generation, and induced changes in male meiotic progression.
