CS1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA038748 (symbol CS1, also known as OiCS1 or APX1B) in Indica rice encodes a haem peroxidase family protein with L-ascorbate peroxidase activity, heme binding and metal binding functions. The gene is associated with hydrogen peroxide catabolism, the ROS metabolic process, cellular response to oxidative stress, pH reduction, glutathione metabolism, defense response, and autotrophy. Its product localises to the peroxisome membrane, chloroplast thylakoid membrane, and chloroplast stroma. CS1 is associated with cadmium concentration and root length traits. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to L-ascorbate peroxidase activity (EC 1.11.1.11).
