Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os02g05700
• RAPdb gene ID: Os02g0150800
• Gene Symbol: OsLKP2
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Under drought conditions, total wax loads on the leaf surface increased by approximately 10% in OsLKP2-1 and OsLKP2-2 compared to the wild type, and the transcript levels of cuticular wax biosynthesis genes were upregulated in the OsLKP2 mutants.
• OsLKP2 knockdown (OsLKP2-1) and knockout (OsLKP2-2) mutants exhibited enhanced drought tolerance.
• Among ZEITLUPE family genes, OsLKP2 expression specifically increased under dehydration stress.
• Yeast two-hybrid, bimolecular fluorescence complementation, and coimmunoprecipitation assays revealed that OsLKP2 interacts with GIGANTEA (OsGI) in the nucleus.
