FRD3 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA011208 (OiFRD3) on chromosome 3 of Indica rice encodes a MATE family transporter with citrate transmembrane transporter activity, metal ion transmembrane transporter activity, and antiporter activity. The gene is associated with iron homeostasis, transport, and accumulation, as well as aluminum tolerance. It is linked to reproductive growth, including stamen and pollen fertility, grain development, and root and shoot growth. Associations also include chlorophyll content, stomatal resistance, cellular response to phosphate starvation, and detoxification. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane and is expressed in nodes, vascular bundles, and leaves. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to metal homeostasis, iron deficiency response, and chlorosis.
