Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os06g24730
• RAPdb gene ID: Os06g0354700
• Gene Symbol: NYC3 OsNYC3
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The chlorophyll content of NYC3 sgr double mutants at the late stage of leaf senescence was also similar to that of sgr.
• NYC3 retained a higher chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b content than the wild-type but showed a decrease in other senescence parameters during dark incubation, suggesting that it is a non-functional stay-green mutant.
• Suppressing chlorophyll degradation by silencing OsNYC3 improves rice resistance to Rhizoctonia solani, the causal agent of sheath blight.
• Here, in this study, the overexpression and RNA interference lines of gene of OsNYC3 (Non-Yellow Coloring 3), a chlorophyll catabolism gene, were investigated.
