Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os03g20090
• RAPdb gene ID: Os03g0315400
• Gene Symbol: Osmyb2
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The Osmyb2-overexpressing plants accumulated greater amounts of soluble sugars and proline than wild-type plants under salt stress.
• Overexpression of Osmyb2 enhanced up-regulation of genes encoding proline synthase and transporters.
• This study isolated a rice R2R3-type MYB gene, Osmyb2, and functionally characterized its role in tolerance to abiotic stress by generating transgenic rice plants with overexpressing and RNA interference Osmyb2.
• No difference in growth and development between the Osmyb2-overexpressing and wild-type plants was observed under normal growth conditions, but the Osmyb2-overexpressing plants were more tolerant to salt, cold, and dehydration stresses and more sensitive to abscisic acid than wild-type plants.
• These findings suggest that Osmyb2 encodes a stress-responsive MYB transcription factor that plays a regulatory role in tolerance of rice to salt, cold, and dehydration stress.
• Expression of Osmyb2 was up-regulated by salt, cold, and dehydration stress.
• A R2R3-type MYB gene, Osmyb2, is involved in salt, cold, and dehydration tolerance in rice.
