Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os05g0472700 <=> oszip5, OsZIP8, ZIP8, OsZIP9
Function
- OsZIP5 is inducible under Zn deficiency. OsZIP5 encodes a Zn transporter.
- OsZIP5 plays a role in Zn distribution within rice.
Mutation
- Knockout plants showed no visible phenotypic changes under either normal or deficient conditions. However, they were tolerant to excess Zn and contained less Zn.
Overexpression
- Transgenic plants overexpressing the gene grew less well. Overexpression of the gene decreased the Zn concentration in shoots, but caused it to rise in the roots. overexpressing transgenics were sensitive to excess Zn.
sublocalization
- The OsZIP5-GFP fusion protein was localized to the plasma membrane.
