Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os08g0189200 <=> OsGLP8
Function
- Lsi1 gene, which controls silicon accumulation in rice, a typical silicon-accumulating plant.
Expression
- This gene belongs to the aquaporin family5 and is constitutively expressed in the roots.
- Suppression of Lsi1 expression resulted in reduced silicon uptake. Furthermore, expression of Lsi1 in Xenopus oocytes showed transport activity for silicon only.
