Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os03g19080
• RAPdb gene ID: Os03g0302900
• Gene Symbol: SSD1
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• SSD1 exhibits pleiotropic defects in elongation of various organs such as stems, roots, leaves, and flowers.
• In this study we analyzed a novel dwarf mutant, SSD1, of which phenotype is different from typical GA- or BR-related dwarf phenotype.
• Map-based cloning and complementation test demonstrated that the dwarf phenotype in SSD1 mutant was caused by insertion of retrotransposon in a gene, which encodes plant-specific protein with unknown biochemical function.
• SSD1 also shows abnormal cell files and shapes, which suggests defects of normal cell division in the mutant.
• Our results demonstrate that SSD1 controls plant elongation by controlling cell division in higher plants.
• SSD1, which encodes a plant-specific novel protein, controls plant elongation by regulating cell division in rice.
