OsbHLHq11, the Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factor, Involved in Regulation of Chlorophyll Content in Rice

ABSTRACT:

Simple Summary

R-ice is one of the world’s most important staples; a growing population and declining rates of growth in rice yields will present significant challenges ahead. After the heading stage, the photosynthetic ability of the flag leaf has a great effect on the yield of rice, and this ability can be evaluated by leaf color, chlorophyll content, quantum yield, etc. Our purpose was to screen candidate genes that affect photosynthetic efficiency through QTL mapping analysis and predict their function through protein interaction and homology sequence analysis. The results suggest that OsbHLHq11 may be involved in chlorophyll accumulation and enhancing photosynthetic efficiency, which may lead to high yields.
