Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: MePIP2|7
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Manihot esculenta

Functional Descriptions:

• Found that the cassava aquaporin MePIP2|7|MePIP2|7 was involved in Mg2+ transport through interaction with MeMGT9, a lower affinity magnesium transporter protein.
• Knockdown of MePIP2|7|MePIP2|7 in cassava led to magnesium deficiency in basal mature leaves with chlorosis and necrotic spots on their edges and starch over-accumulation.
• MePIP2|7|MePIP2|7 improved the transportability of Mg2+ via MeMGT9 as verified using the CM66 mutant complementation assay and Xenopus oocytes expressing system.
• Our results demonstrated the synergistic effect of the MePIP2|7|MePIP2|7 and MeMGT9 interaction in regulating water and Mg2+ absorption and transport in cassava.
