Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os09g38850
• RAPdb gene ID: Os09g0561600
• Gene Symbol: OsDEES1 OsWAK91
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• A detailed investigation of the ovaries from OsDEES1 RNA interference plants indicated that the knockdown of OsDEES1 expression did not affect megasporogenesis but that it disturbed female gametophyte formation, resulting in a degenerated embryo sac and defective seed formation.
• OsDEES1 exhibited a tissue-specific expression pattern in flowers and seedlings.
• OsDEES1 silencing by RNA interference caused a high rate of female sterility.
• Crossing experiments showed that female reproductive organs lacking OsDEES1 carried a functional defect.
• While OsWAK14, OsWAK91 and OsWAK92 positively regulate quantitative resistance, OsWAK112d is a negative regulator of blast resistance.
• Finally, we show that OsWAK91 is required for H2O2 production and sufficient to enhance defense gene expression during infection.
