• Information
  • Symbol: ONI1
  • MSU: LOC_Os03g08360
  • RAPdb: Os03g0181500
• Publication
  • Fatty acid elongase is required for shoot development in rice, 2011, Plant J.
• Genbank accession number
  • AK061335
• Key message
  • Here we show that the ONION1 (ONI1) gene, which encodes a fatty acid elongase (beta-ketoacyl CoA synthase) involved in the synthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids, is required for correct fatty acid composition and normal shoot development in rice
  • oni1 mutants containing a reduced amount of very-long-chain fatty acids produced very small shoots, with an aberrant outermost epidermal cell layer, and ceased to grow soon after germination
  • ONI1 was specifically expressed in the outermost cell layer of the shoot apical meristem and developing lateral organs
