The rice gene Os11g0582500 was reported as OsC6 in 2010[1] by researchers from China.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

  • Os11g0582500 <=> C6, OsC6, OsG6B, OsLTPG25

Function

  • OsC6 Encoding a Lipid Transfer Protein.
  • OsC6 is Required for Postmeiotic Anther Development, it functions in regulating postmeiotic anther development in rice.
  • 'OsC6 plays a crucial role in the development of lipidic orbicules and pollen exine during anther development in rice.

Phenotypic analysis

  • Plants in which OsC6 was silenced had defective development of orbicules (i.e. Ubisch bodies) and pollen exine and had reduced pollen fertility.

Expression

  • OsC6 expression is mainly detectable in tapetal cells and weakly in microspores from stage 9 to stage 11 of anther development.
  • Immunological assays indicated that OsC6 is widely distributed in anther tissues such as the tapetal cytoplasm, the extracellular space between the tapetum and middle layer, and the anther locule and anther cuticle.
  • Biochemical assays indicated that recombinant OsC6 has lipid binding activity.

Evolution

  • OsC6 belongs to a distinct clade from previously identified LTP1 and LTP2 family members found in both dicots and monocots.

Labs working on this gene

  • School of Life Science and Biotechnology (Das.Z., W.L., C.Y., J.Z., F.G., Dab.Z.), Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China
