Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os01g42860
• RAPdb gene ID: Os01g0615100
• Gene Symbol: OCPI1
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The positive transgenic plants (OCPI1 was over-expressed) had significantly higher grain yield and seed setting rate than the wild type and the negative transgenic control (no over-expression of the transgene) under the severe drought stress conditions, whereas the potential yield of transgenic plants under normal growth conditions was not affected.
• The expression of beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene under the control of OCPI1 promoter transformed into rice was strongly induced by drought and salt stresses.
• Taken together, these data indicate that OCPI1 might potentially be useful in the genetic improvement of drought resistance in rice.
