Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os11g38870
• RAPdb gene ID: Os11g0601650 ,Os11g0601700
• Gene Symbol: OsbHLH061 OsbHLHq11
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The bHLH transcription factor OsbHLH061 interacts with OsPRI1, and this study used molecular, genetics, biochemical and physiological approaches to functionally characterise OsbHLH061 and how it affects Fe homeostasis.
• OsbHLH061 links TOPLESS/TOPLESS-RELATED repressor proteins with POSITIVE REGULATOR OF IRON HOMEOSTASIS 1 to maintain iron homeostasis in rice.
• OsbHLH061 knockout or overexpression lines increase or decrease Fe accumulation in shoots respectively.
• OsbHLHq11 is expected to increase photosynthetic efficiency by being involved in the chlorophyll content, and is expected to be utilized as a new genetic resource for breeding high-yield rice.
• OsbHLHq11 was finally selected through screening of genes related to chlorophyll content in the RM26981-RM287 region.
• The relative expression level of the gene of OsbHLHq11 was highly expressed in cultivars with low chlorophyll content, and is expected to have a similar function to BHLH62 of the Gramineae genus.
