Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os03g11900
• RAPdb gene ID: Os03g0218400
• Gene Symbol: OsMST4
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Cellular location in young caryopses through RNA in situ hybridization showed that OsMST4 mRNA mainly accumulates in the vascular parenchyma of the chalazal vein, cross-cells, nucellar tissue and endosperm.
• These data indicate that OsMST4 is actively involved in monosaccharides supply for seed development during the course of grain filling.
• The deduced OsMST4 protein shows typical features of monosaccharide transporters, and shares high homology with other plant homologues.
• Heterologous expression in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) showed that OsMST4 is a functional monosaccharide transporter capable of transporting glucose, fructose, mannose and galactose.
• Molecular cloning and expression analysis of a monosaccharide transporter gene OsMST4 from rice (Oryza sativa L.).
