CS1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA036534 (symbol CS1, also known as OiCS1) in Indica rice encodes an L-ascorbate peroxidase, a haem peroxidase enzyme with L-ascorbate peroxidase activity (EC 1.11.1.11). This gene is associated with cellular response to oxidative stress, hydrogen peroxide catabolic process, ROS metabolic process, glutathione metabolism, pH reduction, defense response, and autotrophy. The encoded protein localises to the peroxisome membrane, chloroplast thylakoid membrane, chloroplast stroma, and mitochondria. CS1 has been linked to cadmium concentration and root length. Related genes in other species, such as APX2, APX5, APX6, and APX7, connect this family to similar stress-responsive processes.
