YS1 — Oryza sativa Japonica

Summary

OsYS1 (YSL1) on rice chromosome 4 encodes a member of the YSL-like family of oligopeptide transporters with Fe-NA chelate transporter activity. The gene is associated with iron transport, response to iron and zinc, nitrogen fixation, phytoalexin biosynthesis, glutathione metabolism, phloem transport, seed maturation and development, embryogenesis, chlorophyll anabolism, and response to nematodes. It localizes to the plastid envelope, vacuolar membrane, tonoplast, Golgi, mitochondria, and plasmalemma. In rice, YSL2 studies link the family to seed iron concentration, grain metal content, saline-alkaline stress tolerance, and metal transport. The gene is also associated with grain yield, grain weight, harvest index, plant height, leaf temperature, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic and transpiration rates, and stomatal resistance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seed metal loading, fertility, and metal remobilization during senescence.
