Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os09g13940
• RAPdb gene ID: Os09g0309700
• Gene Symbol: OsERF109
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Transgenic plants overexpressing (OE) and knockdown with RNA interfering (RI) OsERF109 exhibited significantly reduced and improved drought resistance, respectively, indicating that OsERF109 negatively regulates drought resistance in rice.
• Based on these results, our data evidence that OsERF109 regulates drought resistance by affecting the ethylene biosynthesis in rice.
• The ethylene response factor OsERF109 negatively affects ethylene biosynthesis and drought tolerance in rice.
• Here, we evaluated the regulatory function of a novel rice ethylene response factor (ERF) OsERF109 in drought stress.
• Overall, our study reveals the negative role of OsERF109 in ethylene biosynthesis and drought tolerance in rice.
• Quantitative real-time PCR analysis also proved the regulation of OsERF109 in the expression of OSACS6, OSACO2, and OsERF3, which have been identified to play important roles in ethylene biosynthesis.
• Expression of OsERF109 was rapidly induced by stress and phytohormones.
• Subcellular localization and transactivation assay demonstrated that OsERF109 was localized in nucleus and possessed transactivation activity.
