LSI2 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA011605 (LSI2, OiLSI2) on chromosome 3 of Indica rice encodes a protein with a citrate transporter-like domain. This gene is associated with silicon, xylem, root, shoot, seedlings, arsenic accumulation, grain, arsenic accumulation in shoots, arsenite, transporter, salt, stress, salt stress, R protein, and dwarf phenotypes. It is linked to chlorophyll fluorescence and membrane transport, with the product localised to the membrane and plasmalemma. Associations also include root dry weight, root length, and chlorophyll content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to shoot system arsenic content, potassium uptake, morphological traits, biomass yield, TGRWT, growth stage, physiological traits, arsenic concentration, transpiration rate, salinity tolerance, stomatal resistance, grain number, GRWT, grain weight, plant height, seed germination, and grain yield.
