Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os10g33800
• RAPdb gene ID: Os10g0478200
• Gene Symbol: FLO16
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• 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).
