• Information
  • Symbol: SSG4
  • MSU: LOC_Os01g08420
  • RAPdb: Os01g0179400
• Publication
  • Amyloplast-localized SUBSTANDARD STARCH GRAIN4 protein influences the size of starch grains in rice endosperm, 2014, Plant Physiol.
  • Substandard starch grain4 may function in amyloplast development by influencing starch and lipid metabolism in rice endosperm., 2022, J Plant Physiol.
• Genbank accession number
  • AB856288
• Key message
  • In this study, we report a novel rice (Oryza sativa) mutant called substandard starch grain4 (ssg4) that develops enlarged SGs in the endosperm
  • Enlargement of SGs in ssg4 was also observed in other starch-accumulating tissues such as pollen grains, root caps, and young pericarps
  • SSG4 will be a useful molecular tool for future starch breeding and biotechnology
  • The results of this study suggest that SSG4 influences the regulation of starch and lipid metabolism as well as amyloplast development, a finding that is useful for potential genetic improvement of rice grain quality in future starch and lipid breeding and biotechnology
