Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os03g20460
• RAPdb gene ID: Os03g0320900
• Gene Symbol: v2
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The v2 mutant is temperature-sensitive and develops chlorotic leaves at restrictive temperatures.
• The v2 mutation causes inhibition of chloroplast differentiation; in particular, it disrupts the chloroplast translation machinery during early leaf development [Sugimoto et al.
• Here we show that a novel gene, VIRESCENT 2 (v2), encodes a new type of GK (designated pt/mtGK) that is localized in plastids and mitochondria.
