Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: NbRabE1
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Nicotiana benthamiana

Functional Descriptions:

• We characterized the gene expression, subcellular localization, and in vivo functions of a Nicotiana benthamiana small GTPase belonging to the RabE family, designated NbRabE1.
• The NbRabE1 promoter drove strong β-glucuronidase reporter expression in young tissues containing actively dividing cells and in stomata guard cells.
• Virus-induced gene silencing of NbRabE1 resulted in pleiotropic phenotypes, including growth arrest, premature senescence, and abnormal leaf development.
• Ectopic expression of the dominant-negative mutant of NbRabE1 in Arabidopsis thaliana resulted in retardation of shoot and root growth accompanied by defective root hair formation.
