EP3 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA019832 (EP3, OiEP3) in Indica rice encodes a protein with chitinase activity (EC 3.2.1.14), chitin binding and protein binding, belonging to the Glyco_hydro_19_cat domain and Lysozyme-like_dom_sf superfamily. This gene is associated with response to amitrole, membrane biogenesis, cell wall macromolecule catabolic process, jasmonic acid/ethene-dependent systemic resistance, response to silver ion, chitin breakdown, transposition, polysaccharide breakdown, killing of cells of other organism, response to oomycetes, cell wall modification, response to insect, response to virus, somatic embryogenesis, systemic acquired resistance, cellular response to hypoxia, response to fungi, and leaf senescence. It is associated with ethylene sensitivity, drought tolerance, pathogen resistance, pathogen response, growth, magnaporthe oryzae, jasmonic acid, salt tolerance, seed germination under salt stress, jasmonic acid, transcription factor, wilt symptom development, tolerance, and nematode resistance. The encoded protein localizes to secretory vesicle, protoplasm, vacuole, apoplast, plant-type cell wall, plant-type vacuole, extracellular region, mitochondria, and plasma membrane.
