Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os02g52250
• RAPdb gene ID: Os02g0759800
• Gene Symbol: OsSKIPa
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Transgenic rice overexpressing OsSKIPa exhibited significantly improved growth performance in the medium containing stress agents (abscisic acid, salt, or mannitol) and drought resistance at both the seedling and reproductive stages.
• Here we also show that OsDIS1 interacts with OsSKIPa, a drought and salt stress positive regulator in rice.
• The expression OsSKIPa is induced by various abiotic stresses and phytohormone treatments.
• Suppression of OsSKIPa in rice resulted in growth arrest and reduced cell viability.
• The OsSKIPa-overexpressing rice showed significantly increased reactive oxygen species-scavenging ability and transcript levels of many stress-related genes, including SNAC1 and rice homologs of CBF2, PP2C, and RD22, under drought stress conditions.
