PIP1 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OsPIP1 (OS02G0666200) on rice chromosome 2 encodes a protein with aquaporin-like and MIP domains, and is annotated with channel activity and phospholipase D activity. The gene is associated with water use, seed, root, shoot, and xylem phenotypes, and is linked to carbon dioxide transport, sucrose transport, hydrogen peroxide membrane transport, and response to water. Associations include grain moisture content, drought sensitivity, water use efficiency, stomatal complex closure time, sodium uptake, nitrogen content, cadmium concentration, root volume, root hair length, lateral root length, days to heading, germination rate, and bacterial disease response. Related genes in other species are linked to root hydraulic conductivity, stomatal closure, hydrogen peroxide diffusion, resistance to Pseudomonas syringae, transpiration rate, photosynthetic efficiency, and mesophyll conductance.
