Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os04g58190
• RAPdb gene ID: Os04g0678400
• Gene Symbol: OsDOF18
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• The growth of null mutants of<U+00A0>OsDOF18 was retarded in a medium containing ammonium as the sole nitrogen source.
• These results provide evidence that OsDOF18 mediates ammonium transport and nitrogen distribution, which then affects nitrogen use efficiency.
• Transcription Factor OsDOF18 Controls Ammonium Uptake by Inducing Ammonium Transporters in Rice Roots.
• Among the 10 ammonium transporter genes examined here, expression of OsAMT1;1,<U+00A0>OsAMT1;3, OsAMT2;1, and OsAMT4;1 was reduced in OsDOF18 mutants, demonstrating that the ammonium transporter genes function downstream of OsDOF18.
• Uptake of ammonium was lower in OsDOF18 mutants than in the wild type, while that of nitrate was not affected by the mutation.
