SAPK2 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

Os02g0551100 (SAPK2/SAPK6) encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase with ATP binding activity. In rice, this gene is associated with yield, drought, salt stress, stress, reproductive, chilling, drought stress, stress tolerance, seedling growth, chilling stress, PCD, grain size, tiller, grain, sucrose, seedling, abscisic acid, detoxification, tiller number, drought stress response, nitrogen, root, grains per panicle, potassium, temperature, and development. It is linked to nitrogen utilization, nitrate import, pollen maturation, seed germination, seedling development, homeostasis, programmed cell death, protein phosphorylation, root development, response to thirst, cell death, defence response to bacteria, and signal transduction. It localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, cold tolerance, root hair elongation, stomatal closure, and disease resistance.
