BGIOSGA026944 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA026944 (AFT1, also known as OiGF14-KAPPA, GF14C, GF14B, and MIN10) on chromosome 8 of Indica rice encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein. This gene is associated with a wide range of molecular functions including calcium-activated potassium channel activity, quercetin 3-O-methyltransferase activity, and phosphatidylethanolamine binding. In rice, AFT1 has been linked to drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, blast resistance, brassinosteroid signaling, root elongation, and biomass. It is also associated with biological processes such as cellular response to brassinosteroid stimulus, regulation of anthocyanin metabolism, and response to water-immersion restraint stress. The protein localizes to the nuclear microtubule, vacuolar membrane, and peroxisome membrane. Additionally, AFT1 is associated with pathways involving florigen activation complex formation and translocation of Hd3a:14-3-3 protein heterotetramers, linking it to flowering time regulation.
