Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os09g33510
• RAPdb gene ID: Os09g0509300
• Gene Symbol: WEG1
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Consistent with this phenotype, was the expression of the WEG1 gene, which encodes a putative member of the hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein family that regulates cell wall extensibility, in the root elongation zone.
• These results suggest that the MNU-induced WEG1 mutated gene regulates the auxin-independent parental root elongation that controls the number of likely auxin-induced L-type LRs, thus reflecting its importance in improving rice root architecture.
