Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os01g11054
• RAPdb gene ID: Os01g0208700
• Gene Symbol: Osppc4
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• ) has a plant-type PEPC, Osppc4, that is targeted to the chloroplast.
• Knockdown of Osppc4 expression by the RNAi technique resulted in stunting at the vegetative stage, which was much more marked when rice plants were grown with ammonium than with nitrate as the nitrogen source.
• Its expression in the leaves was confined to mesophyll cells, and Osppc4 accounted for approximately one-third of total PEPC protein in the leaf blade.
