LSI2 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

Rice LSI2 (Os03g0107300) encodes a protein with a citrate transporter-like domain. The gene is associated with silicon, xylem, root, shoot, seedlings, grain, arsenite, transporter, arsenic accumulation, arsenic accumulation in shoots, salt, stress, salt stress, R protein, and dwarf phenotypes. It is associated with phytochelatin metabolism, silicic acid transport, nucleotide-sugar metabolism, arsenite transport, the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, translation termination, PH reduction, sulfur metabolism, cellular localization, the TCA cycle, sucrose metabolism, chlorophyll fluorescence, detoxification, NO storage, membrane transport, and seed germination. It is localized to the membrane and plasmalemma. LSI2 is associated with shoot system arsenic content, potassium uptake, TGRWT, growth stage, arsenic concentration, transpiration rate, salinity tolerance, stomatal resistance, grain number, GRWT, chlorophyll content, grain weight, and grain yield. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to root dry weight, morphological traits, biomass yield, physiological traits, root length, and plant height.
