YS1 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OS02G0650300 (YS1, also known as YSL15) encodes a member of the YSL-like family of oligopeptide transporters with Fe-NA chelate transporter activity. In rice, this gene is associated with iron transport and homeostasis, seed iron concentration, grain iron content, and responses to saline-alkaline stress and heavy metals. It has been linked to seed germination, seedling growth, flower development, root function, and ethylene-related processes. The gene is also associated with nitrogen fixation, phytoalexin biosynthesis, glutathione metabolism, phloem transport, and response to nematodes. Its product localizes to the plastid envelope, vacuolar membrane, tonoplast, Golgi, mitochondria, and plasmalemma. Associations with grain weight, yield, plant height, harvest index, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, and leaf temperature have been reported. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed metal loading, copper and zinc homeostasis, and metal remobilization during senescence.
