Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os08g38710
• RAPdb gene ID: Os08g0495800
• Gene Symbol: OsAkaGal Osh69
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The expression level of Osh69 is not only up-regulated during natural leaf senescence but also induced rapidly by darkness, hormones (methyl jasmonic acid, salicylic acid), and stresses (H2O2 and wounding).
• These findings strongly suggest an important role for Osh69 in the degradation of chloroplast galactolipids during leaf senescence.
