Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os01g39630
• RAPdb gene ID: Os01g0578000
• Gene Symbol: RAD51C
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• These results suggest that RAD51C is essential for reproductive development by regulating meiosis as well as for DNA damage repair in somatic cells.
• The rice RAD51C gene is required for the meiosis of both female and male gametocytes and the DNA repair of somatic cells.
• Transferring RAD51C to the RAD51C-KO line restored fertility.
• The RAD51C-KO line showed no obvious difference from wild-type plants in mitosis in the anther wall cells, which was consistent with the observation that the RAD51C-KO line did not have obviously abnormal morphology during vegetative development.
• Cytological analyses showed that the sterility of RAD51C-KO plants was associated with abnormal early meiotic processes in both megasporocytes and pollen mother cells (PMCs).
• Knockout (KO) of RAD51C resulted in both female and male sterility in rice.
