Os03g0290300

The rice Os03g0290300 was reported as OsFAD7 in 2007 by researchers from the Japan.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os03g0290300<=>OsFAD7

Function

• The researchers generated 18:3-deficient transgenic rice plants (F78Ri) with co-suppression of two u-3 fatty acid desaturases, OsFAD7 and OsFAD8.that synthesize 18:3. The F78Ri plants showed enhanced resistance to the phytopathogenic fungus Magnaporthe grisea.

Expression

• In F78Ri plants, the expression of JA-responsive pathogenesis-related genes,PBZ1 and PR1b, was induced after inoculation with M. grisea, although the JA-mediated wound response was suppressed. Furthermore, the application of JA methyl ester had no significant effect on the enhanced resistance in F78Ri plants.
