Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os09g02214
• RAPdb gene ID: Os09g0109800
• Gene Symbol: OsNHAD
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• OsNHAD is a chloroplast membrane-located transporter required for resistance to salt stress in rice (Oryza sativa).
• Confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis of OsNHAD::GFP fusion in tobacco leaves shows that OsNHAD resides in the chloroplast envelop.
• Knock-down of OsNHAD by RNA interference led to increased rice sensitivity to Na+, manifested by stunted plant growth, enhanced cellular damage, reduced PSII activity and changed chloroplast morphology.
• Complementation test reveals that OsNHAD was able to functionally restore the Arabidopsis mutant atnhd1-1 growth phenotype.
• These results suggest that OsNHAD possibly mediates homeostasis of sodium ions in the subcellular compartments and tissues of the plants when challenged to salt stress.
• OsNHAD transcripts mainly express in leaves and are induced by Na+ stress.
• In this study, we functionally identified an uncharacterized sodium ion transporter named OsNHAD which encodes a putative Na+ <U+2044> H+ antiporter in rice.
