Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os09g30320
• RAPdb gene ID: Os09g0480900
• Gene Symbol: RA8
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The RA8 promoter may be useful for controlling gene expression in anthers of cereal plants and for generating male-sterile plants.
• An anther-specific cDNA clone of rice, RA8, was isolated from an anther cDNA library by differential screening.
• RNA blot analysis indicated that the RA8 transcript is present specifically in anthers and the transcript level increased as flowers matured, reaching the highest level in mature flowers.
• Histochemical GUS analysis showed that the RA8 promoter was active in the tapetum, endothecium, and connective tissues of anthers.
• Isolation and characterization of an anther-specific gene, RA8, from rice (Oryza sativa L.).
