Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os02g17390
• RAPdb gene ID: Os02g0274100
• Gene Symbol: MFP AIM1
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The reduced root meristem activity of AIM1 results from reduced salicylic acid (SA) levels and can be rescued by SA application.
• Like SA, ROS application substantially increased root length and root meristem activity in AIM1.
• These results suggest that AIM1 is required for root growth in rice due to its critical role in SA biosynthesis: SA maintains root meristem activity through promoting ROS accumulation by inducing the activity of WRKY transcriptional repressors, which repress the expression of redox and ROS-scavenging genes.
