Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os05g41760
• RAPdb gene ID: Os05g0497200
• Gene Symbol: MFS1
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• In addition, the sterile lemma was homeotically converted to the rudimentary glume and the body of the palea was degenerated in MFS1.
• Furthermore, our findings suggest that MFS1 positively regulates the expression of LONG STERILE LEMMA and the INDETERMINATE SPIKELET1 (IDS1)-like genes SUPERNUMERARY BRACT and OsIDS1.
• In this study, we identified a rice (Oryza sativa) spikelet mutant, multi-floret spikelet1 (MFS1), that showed delayed transformation of spikelet meristems to floral meristems, which resulted in an extra hull-like organ and an elongated rachilla.
• These results suggest that the MULTI-FLORET SPIKELET1 (MFS1) gene plays an important role in the regulation of spikelet meristem determinacy and floral organ identity.
• MFS1 messenger RNA is expressed in various tissues, especially in the spikelet and floral meristems.
• MFS1 belongs to an unknown function clade in the APETALA2/ethylene-responsive factor (AP2/ERF) family.
