RGA3 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA009441 (symbol RGA3, also known as OiBPH14 or BPH14) on Indica rice chromosome 3 encodes a protein containing NB-ARC, LRR, and other domains, with ADP-binding, ATP-binding and metal-binding activities. The gene is associated with resistance to brown planthopper, defense responses, antiviral and antibacterial immunity, and the hypersensitive response programmed cell death. It is linked to nitrogen responses, seedling traits, growth, salicylic acid signaling, and vascular bundle development. The encoded protein localizes to the membrane and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to powdery mildew resistance and insect damage responses.
