Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os01g56330
• RAPdb gene ID: Os01g0769700
• Gene Symbol: DRUS2 FLR2
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• A drus1-1 DRUS2 double knockout mutant, but not either single mutant, showed extreme dwarfism and barren inflorescences that harbored sterile spikelets.
• We observed that both FLR1 and FLR2 were involved in tillering of rice, but at different levels.
• Interestingly, FLR1 and FLR2 showed different functions related to fertility, and FLR1 might be specifically involved in rice male gametophyte development.
• In this study, we generated flr1 and FLR2 T-DNA insertion null mutants and investigated potential role of FLRs in rice yield.
• With these similar but different functions, we suggest that FLR1 and FLR2 might function in complementary ways to regulate the yield of rice.
