Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• Os12g0281300 <=> OsPi-ta,Pi-ta,Pita

Function

• The rice blast resistance ( R ) gene Pi-ta mediates gene-for-gene resistance against strains of the fungus Magnaporthe grisea that express avirulent alleles of AVR-Pita .
• Pi-ta encodes a predicted 928–amino acid cytoplasmic receptor with a centrally localized nucleotide binding site.

Expression

• Pi-ta shows low constitutive expression in both resistant and susceptible rice.
