Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os03g13810
• RAPdb gene ID: Os03g0241300
• Gene Symbol: OsPE
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• A T-DNA insertional mutant OsPE of rice gives twin and triplet seedlings in up to 20 % of the seeds.
• Confocal laser scanning microscopic (CLSM) analysis of the developing seeds of OsPE showed multiple embryo development in up to 60 % of the ovules.
• Key message Multiple seedlings in the OsPE mutant are due to sequential proliferation and cleavage of the zygotic embryos.
• RT-PCR showed the expression of OsPE gene in Basmati 370 shoots.
• , multiple embryos in the seeds in the knockout mutant OsPE whereas its wild-type allele strictly controls single embryo per seed.
