Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os05g04900
• RAPdb gene ID: None
• Gene Symbol: WLS5
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• A 3-bp deletion of WLS5 gene leads to weak growth and early leaf senescence in rice.
• Knockout of LOC_Os05g04900 in Nipponbare plants caused leaf senescence, confirming this locus as the causal gene for WLS5.
• Further molecular study of WLS5 will uncover the roles of this gene in plant growth and leaf senescence.
• Histological analysis showed that the poor growth of WLS5 plants involved a reduction in cell length and number.
• The WLS5 mutants also exhibited significantly higher stomatal density and altered phytohormone contents compared with wild-type plants.
• Physiological analysis and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the WLS5 cells had abnormal chloroplasts, and the mutants underwent chlorophyll degradation triggered by accumulation of reactive oxygen species.
