PIZ — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA022714, designated PIZ or OiPIZ on Indica rice chromosome 6, encodes a protein with Disease_R_plants, Apaf_helical, WHD_DRP, NB-ARC, LRR_R13L4/SHOC2-like, WH-like_DNA-bd_sf, LRR_dom_sf, and P-loop_NTPase domains. The protein binds ADP, ATP and metal ions, and is associated with the cytosol and cytoplasm. Annotated biological processes include regulation of pattern recognition receptor signaling, innate immune response-activating signaling, antiviral response, hypersensitive response programmed cell death, and defense responses to bacteria and other organisms. The gene is associated with blast resistance, disease resistance, sterility, resistance, breeding and development. Studies of related genes in other species further associate the family with disease and heterosis.
