Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os02g58730
• RAPdb gene ID: Os02g0834000
• Gene Symbol: OsRacD OsRac5
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Evidence from RT-PCR study indicates that OsRacD gene is related to photoperiod fertility conversion of photoperiod sensitive genic male sterility (PSGMS) rice.
• OsRac5 belongs to the rice Rho of plants family, and acts as the molecular switch in the signal pathway which is pivotally involved in the rice fertility control.
• Our results suggest that OsMY1 is an important target of OsRac5 and that these two genes are involved in the same biological processes in rice growth and development.
• Real-time PCR shows that OsMY1 and OsRac5 are coordinately expressed in rice leaves and panicles with similar expression patterns.
• The OsRacD gene correlated with fertility transformation in the photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile rice (PGMR), Nongken 58S, encoded a rice (Oryza sativa L.
• By screening cDNA library of the rice Nongken 58N panicle using the newly obtained fragment RDP-8 as probe, we further found the full-length cDNA of OsRacD gene that encodes a rice small GTP-binding protein.
