Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os03g44210
• RAPdb gene ID: Os03g0644200
• Gene Symbol: WAL3
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• In this study, we identified a new PLS-type protein, WAL3 (Whole Albino Leaf on Chromosome 3), playing important roles in plant chloroplast development.
• WAL3 encoding a PLS-type PPR protein regulates chloroplast development in rice.
• Knockout of WAL3 gene in Nipponbare variety caused abnormal chloroplast development and showed an albino lethal phenotype.
• In summary, our study revealed that WAL3 is essential for chloroplast development in rice.
• The decreased abundance of photosynthesis-related proteins in WAL3 mutants indicated WAL3 influence photosynthesis.
• Transcriptome sequencing showed that WAL3 involved in multiple metabolic pathways including the chlorophyll synthesis and photosynthetic related metabolic pathways.
