Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

  • Os11g0592200 <=> OsPR4,OsPR4a,PR4a,OsPR-4

Function

  • PR4 proteins constitute a pathogenesis-related (PR) protein family with a conserved BARWIN domain.
  • The rice PR4 genes are also involved in abiotic stress responses and tolerance in addition to their responsiveness to pathogen attacks.

Phenotypic analysis

  • Transgenic rice with overexpression of OsPR4a showed enhanced tolerance to drought at both seedling and reproductive stages..

Expression

  • OsPR4 genes showed diverse temporal–spatial expression patterns, and their expressions are responsive to Magnaporthe grisea infection. Interestingly, the OsPR4 genes are also responsive to abiotic stresses.
  • Their expression levels were strongly induced by at least one of the stress treatments including drought, salt, cold, wounding, heat shock, and ultraviolet.
  • The transcript levels of OsPR4 genes were also induced by some phytohormones such as abscisic acid and jasmonic acid.

Evolution

  • The PR4 genes are located in tandem on chromosome 11 and constitute a gene cluster with high sequence similarity to each other.
  • The OsPR4 proteins have high sequence similarity to reported PR4 proteins from monocotyledonous species and are predicted to be class II PR4 proteins.
  • Distinct diversification of plant PR4 proteins exists between monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants.
