Annotated Information
Gene Symbol
- Os10g0444700 <=> OsPT8
Function
- OsPT8 is involved in Pi homeostasis in rice and is critical for plant growth and development.
Expression
- OsPT8 is expressed in various tissue organs from roots to seeds independent of Pi supply.
Mutant
- Overexpression of OsPT8 resulted in excessive Pi in both roots and shoots and Pi toxic symptoms under the high-Pi supply condition. In contrast, knockdown of OsPT8 by RNA interference decreased Pi uptake and plant growth under both high- and low-Pi conditions.
