Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os01g40630
• RAPdb gene ID: Os01g0588900
• Gene Symbol: LOG
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The LONELY GUY (LOG) gene of rice is required to maintain meristem activity and its loss of function causes premature termination of the shoot meristem.
• LOG messenger RNA is specifically localized in shoot meristem tips, indicating the activation of cytokinins in a specific developmental domain.
• LOG encodes a novel cytokinin-activating enzyme that works in the final step of bioactive cytokinin synthesis.
• Revising the long-held idea of multistep reactions, LOG directly converts inactive cytokinin nucleotides to the free-base forms, which are bioLOGically active, by its cytokinin-specific phosphoribohydrolase activity.
