The rice Os03g0160100 was reported as OsEDR1 in 2011 by researchers from the China.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os03g0160100 <=> OsEDR1

Function

• OsEDR1-suppressing/knockout (KO) plants, which developed spontaneous lesions on the leaves, have enhanced resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) causing bacterial blight disease.

Mutant

• Knockout of OsEDR1 suppressed the ACC synthase (ACS) gene family, which encodes the rate-limiting enzymes of ethylene biosynthesis by catalysing the formation of ACC. The lesion phenotype and enhanced bacterial resistance of the OsEDR1-KO plants was partly complemented by the treatment with ACC. ACC treatmen was associated with decreased SA and JA biosynthesis in OsEDR1-KO plants.
