Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os03g21800
• RAPdb gene ID: Os03g0336200
• Gene Symbol: RF2b OsbZIP30
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Conversely, lines with elevated expression of RF2a or RF2b showed weak or no symptoms of infection after Agrobacterium inoculation of RTBV, whereas control plants showed severe stunting and leaf discoloration.
• Transgenic rice plants that overexpress transcription factors RF2a and RF2b are tolerant to rice tungro virus replication and disease.
• Furthermore, transgenic rice plants with reduced levels of RF2b exhibit a disease-like phenotype.
• RF2b, a rice bZIP transcription activator, interacts with RF2a and is involved in symptom development of rice tungro disease.
• Two host transcription factors, RF2a and RF2b, regulate expression of the RTBV promoter and are important for plant development.
