Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os02g44630
• RAPdb gene ID: Os02g0666200
• Gene Symbol: OsPIP1 1 RWC1
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Partial silencing of the water channel genes, OsPIP1;1 and OsPIP1;3, reduced seed germination while over-expression of OsPIP1;3 promoted seed germination under water-stress conditions.
• OsPIP1;1 is one of the most abundant aquaporins in rice leaves and roots and is highly responsible to environmental stresses.
• Moderate expression of OsPIP1;1 increased rice seed yield, salt resistance, root hydraulic conductivity, and seed germination rate.
• Aquaporin OsPIP1;1 promotes rice salt resistance and seed germination.
• Exogenous NO stimulated the transcription of OsPIP1;1, OsPIP1;2, OsPIP1;3 and OsPIP2;8 in germinating seeds.
• Functional reconstitution of a rice aquaporin water channel, PIP1;1, by a micro-batchwise methodology.
