In maize, homologous genes are mainly involved in sulfur utilization and plant response to adversity, which indicates that it has a wider role in plant metabolism (Jones and Turner, 2020). The sequences of these homologous genes are very similar to those of GRA78, especially in important areas of enzyme activity and substrate binding. Figure 2 Phenotype of obvious striped leaves occurred in B03S under different treatments (Adopted from Hao et al., 2022) Image caption: This figure illustrates the phenotypic effects of different transplanting and cultivation methods on rice variety B03S, particularly focusing on the occurrence of striped leaves under various treatments (Adopted from Hao et al., 2022) 6.2 Conservation and difference of functions Although these genes are very similar in sequence, their functions are not exactly the same. For example, in rice, GRA78 is particularly important for the development of chloroplasts and directly affects the color of leaves
