Os06g0142350

The rice Os06g0142350 was reported as OsENOD93-1 in 2009 by researchers from Canada.

Annotated Information

Function

• Development of genetic varieties with improved nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) is essential for sustainable agriculture.
• The rice OsENOD93-1 is an early nodulin gene with positive effects on nitrogen-use efficiency.
• The OsENOD93-1 gene responded significantly to both N induction and N reduction.

Phenotypic analysis

• Transgenic rice plants over-expressing the OsENOD93-1 gene had increased shoot dry biomass and seed yield.
• Transgenic plants accumulated higher concentrations of total amino acids and total N in roots.
• A higher concentration of amino acids in xylem sap was detected in transgenic plants, especially under N stress.

Expression

• The OsENOD93-1 gene was expressed at high levels in roots of wild-type (WT) plants
• In situ hybridization revealed that OsENOD93-1 is expressed in vascular bundles, as well as in epidermis and endodermis.

Subcellular localization

• The OsENOD93-1 protein product was localized in mitochondria.
