Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os02g38020
• RAPdb gene ID: Os02g0593500
• Gene Symbol: OsPHT2 1
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Cell-based assays showed that OsPHT2;1 localized to the chloroplast envelope and functioned as a low-affinity Pi transporter.
• The OsPHT2;1 had reduced Pi accumulation, plant growth and photosynthetic rates.
• Furthermore, the OsPHT2;1 showed decreased grain yields at relatively high levels of UV-B irradiance.
• Mutation of the chloroplast-localized phosphate transporter OsPHT2;1 reduces flavonoids accumulation and UV tolerance in rice.
• In summary, OsPHT2;1 functions as a chloroplast-localized low-affinity Pi transporter that mediates UV tolerance and rice yields in different latitudes.
• In this study, to gain insight into the role of OsPHT2;1-mediated stroma Pi, we analyzed OsPHT2;1 function in Pi utilization and photoprotection.
• Our results showed that OsPHT2;1 was induced by Pi starvation and light exposure.
