Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os07g41350
• RAPdb gene ID: Os07g0604700
• Gene Symbol: OsB12D1
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Among the six OsB12Ds, OsB12D1 is one of the major transcripts and is primarily expressed in germinating seed and root.
• Bioinformatics analyses indicated that OsB12D1 is an anoxic or submergence resistance-related gene.
• The mitochondrion-located protein OsB12D1 enhances flooding tolerance during seed germination and early seedling growth in rice.
• RT-PCR results showed OsB12D1 is induced remarkably in the coleoptiles or roots by flooding during seed germination and early seedling growth.
• This work indicated that OsB12D1 is a promising gene that can help to enhance rice seedling establishment in farming practices, especially for direct seeding.
• OsB12D1 was identified in the mitochondrion by subcellular localization analysis and possibly enhances electron transport through mediating Fe and oxygen availability under flooded conditions.
