Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os09g25850
• RAPdb gene ID: Os09g0426800
• Gene Symbol: OsGL1-1 WSL2
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Compared to the wild-type, the OsGL1-1 mutant showed decreased cuticular wax deposition, thinner cuticular membrane, decreased chlorophyll leaching, increased rate of water loss, and enhanced sensitivity to drought.
• In the present study, we characterized a rice leaf wax-deficient mutant OsGL1-1 derived from a spontaneous mutation, which exhibited a wax-deficient and highly hydrophilic leaf phenotype.
• Rice OsGL1-1 is involved in leaf cuticular wax and cuticle membrane.
