AGR — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OsAGR (OS01G0802700) on rice chromosome 1 encodes a protein with auxin efflux carrier and auxin efflux transmembrane transporter activity, along with inositol-1,4-bisphosphate 1-phosphatase activity, phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding, and clathrin binding. It is a member of the PIN-like auxin efflux carrier family. The gene is associated with plant height, tiller number, root system architecture, adventitious root emergence, and aluminium tolerance in rice. It has been linked to biological yield, panicle number, seed set percent, tiller angle, and nitrogen content. Associations also include responses to chilling, cadmium, oxidative stress, and boron, as well as tropism, phragmoplast microtubule organization, endocytosis regulation, and cell wall organization. The protein localizes to the auxin efflux carrier complex, basal plasma membrane, recycling endosome, and clathrin-coated vesicles.
