Description OsFCA is a rice homologue of Arabidopsis FCA (At4g16280). Expression of OsFCA mRNA is steady in the leaves and up-regulated in differentiating calli and young spikelet of primary branch-differentiating stage, but decrease dramatically in young spikelet of the pistil and stamen-differentiating stage. Overexpression of OsFCA in Arabidopsis fca mutant partially rescues the late flowering phenotype. Alternative splicing of OsFCA generats four different sizes of transcripts, OsFCA shared several conserved domains with Arabidopsis FCA-gamma which encodes the only FCA protein functioning in the flowering promotion.
Curator Comment Alternative splicing of OsFCA generates OsFCA-1 (or OsFCA), OsFCA-2 (AY311344,Q6W5F4), OsFCA-3 (AY311343, Q6W5F5) and OsFCA-4 (AY311574, Q6VQR2).
