Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os05g15630
• RAPdb gene ID: Os05g0245300
• Gene Symbol: OsBLE3
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• These results suggest that OsBLE3 is involved in cell elongation in rice through dual regulation by BL and IAA.
• In situ hybridization detected OsBLE3 mRNA in the shoot apical meristem, organ primordia and vascular tissue.
• Reduced OsBLE3 expression and growth retardation was also observed in OsBLE3 antisense transgenic rice plants.
• OsBLE3, a brassinolide-enhanced gene, is involved in the growth of rice.
• These results, and the existence of auxin response elements in the 5’-flanking region of the OsBLE3 gene, indicate that OsBLE3 expression is under control of both BR and auxin.
• To investigate the mechanism of BR action in monocots, a brassinolide (BL) upregulated gene designated OsBLE3 was identified, cloned and characterized in rice.
• The GUS reporter gene driven by a 2277 bp OsBLE3 putative promoter was mainly expressed in vascular tissues, branch root primordia and was responsive to exogenous BL treatment.
