• Information
  • Symbol: RA8
  • MSU: LOC_Os09g30320
  • RAPdb: Os09g0480900
• Publication
  • Genome-wide identification of BURP domain-containing genes in rice reveals a gene family with diverse structures and responses to abiotic stresses, 2009, Planta.
  • Isolation and characterization of an anther-specific gene, RA8, from rice Oryza sativa L., 1999, Plant Mol Biol.
• Genbank accession number
  • AF042275
• Key message
  • 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.)
