Information
- Symbol: FLO16
- MSU: LOC_Os10g33800
- RAPdb: Os10g0478200
Publication
- FLOURY ENDOSPERM16 Encoding a NAD-dependent Cytosolic Malate Dehydrogenase Plays an Important Role in Starch Synthesis and Seed Development in Rice., 2019, Plant Biotechnol J.
Genbank accession number
Key message
- In this study, we isolated a novel floury endosperm rice (Oryza sativa) mutant flo16 with defective starch grain (SG) formation
- Overexpression of FLO16 significantly improved grain weight, suggesting a possible application of FLO16 in rice breeding
- Our results indicated that FLO16 plays a critical role in redox homeostasis that is important for compound SG formation and subsequent starch biosynthesis in rice endosperm
- Map-based cloning and complementation tests demonstrated that FLO16 encodes a NAD-dependent cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (CMDH)
