Has Phenotype yes
Description The gene is responsible for the production of pigment in the so-called brown pericarp rice, which has dark-brown irregular speckles on a reddish brown background. When Rc co-exists with Rd (red pericarp and seed coat; GR:0060733), the color of Rc develops over the entire surface, giving a dark red color to the pericarp and seed coat. Rc is regarded to have an effect of accumulating the pigment in the pigment layers. It encodes for a Basic Helix-Loop-Helix protein that is a positive regulator of proanthocyanidin. Rc is an ortholog of maize INTENSIFIER1 (GR:0200268), a negative regulator of anthocyanin production.
