Os08g0522400

The rice Os08g0522400 was reported as OsAPx-R in 2010 by researchers from the France.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os08g0522400 <=> OsAPx-R

Function

• APx-R is encoded by a single-copy gene in virtually all the species analyzed. APx-R proteins are targeted to the chloroplast and can physically interact with chloroplastic APx proteins.

Mutant

• APx-R knockdown rice (Oryza sativa) plants presented delayed development and a disturbed steady state of the antioxidant system compared with wild type. Moreover, the accumulation of APx-R transcripts was modulated by drought, UV irradiation, cold, and aluminum exposure in rice, suggesting the involvement of APx-R in the environmental stress response.
