Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os04g58780
• RAPdb gene ID: Os04g0684500
• Gene Symbol: WSL5 OsPPR4
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• WSL5 was impaired in chloroplast ribosome biogenesis under cold stress.
• We propose that the WSL5 allele is required for normal chloroplast development in maintaining retrograde signaling from plastids to the nucleus under cold stress.
• Arabidopsis atppr4 and rice OsPPR4 mutants are embryo-lethal and seedling-lethal 3 weeks after germination, respectively, showing that PPR4 is essential in the development of both dicot and monocot plants.
