Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os03g48040
• RAPdb gene ID: Os03g0685000
• Gene Symbol: OsFdC2
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• OsFdC2 was expressed most abundantly in leaves and its encoded protein was targeted to the chloroplast.
• Map-based cloning of this mutant resulted in identification of OsFdC2 gene (LOC_Os03g48040) showing high identity with Arabidopsis FdC2 gene (AT1G32550).
• Mutation of FdC2 gene encoding a ferredoxin-like protein with C-terminal extension causes yellow-green leaf phenotype in rice.
• Our results suggest that OsFdC2 plays an important role in photosynthetic rate and development of heading date by regulating electron transfer and chlorophyll content in rice.
