Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os09g39930
• RAPdb gene ID: Os09g0572600
• Gene Symbol: STK
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• STK was highest expressed in the stem at the heading stage.
• Receptor-Like Cytoplasmic Kinase STK Confers Salt Tolerance in Rice.
• Previous reports have demonstrated that overexpression of an RLCK gene SALT TOLERANCE KINASE (STK) enhances salt tolerance in rice, and that STK may regulate the expression of GST (Glutathione S-transferase) genes.
• Overexpression of STK in rice increased tolerance to salt stress and oxidative stress by increasing ROS scavenging ability and ABA sensitivity.
• In contrast, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of STK increased the sensitivity of rice to salt stress and oxidative stress.
• Transcriptome sequencing analysis suggested that STK increased the expression of GST genes (LOC_Os03g17480, LOC_Os10g38140 and LOC_Os10g38710) under salt stress.
• CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that STK plays a positive regulatory role in salt stress tolerance by inducing antioxidant defense and associated with the ABA signaling pathway in rice.
• RESULTS: The expression of STK was rapidly induced by ABA.
• STK was localized at the plasma membrane.
