Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os01g18240
• RAPdb gene ID: Os01g0285300
• Gene Symbol: MYB61 OsMYB61
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Multiple experiments demonstrated that transcription factors NAC29/31 and MYB61 are CESA regulators in rice; NAC29/31 directly regulates MYB61, which in turn activates CESA expression.
• MYB61 is regulated by GRF4 and promotes nitrogen utilization and biomass production in rice.
• The indica allele of MYB61 displays robust transcription resulting in higher NUE and increased grain yield at reduced N supply than that of japonica.
• The variation at MYB61 has been selected during indica and japonica domestication.
• Here, via quantitative trait loci analysis and map-based cloning, we reveal that natural variation at the MYB61 locus leads to differences in N use and cellulose biogenesis between indica and japonica subspecies of rice.
