Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os11g26790
• RAPdb gene ID: Os11g0454300
• Gene Symbol: RAB21 Rab16A OsRab16A
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Further studies demonstrated that overexpression of OsMYB48-1 could regulate the expression of some ABA biosynthesis genes (OsNCED4, OsNCED5), early signaling genes (OsPP2C68, OSRK1) and late responsive genes (RAB21, OsLEA3, RAB16C and RAB16D) under drought stress conditions.
• The Rab16A transcript also increased gradually with seed maturity, with its maximal accumulation at 30 d after pollination (DAP) i.
• , fully matured seeds, explaining the protective role of Rab16A gene during seed maturation.
• We report here the overexpression of Rab16A full length gene (promoter + ORF), from the salt-tolerant indica rice Pokkali, in the salt-susceptible indica rice variety Khitish, via particle bombardment.
• Overexpression of Rab16A gene in indica rice variety for generating enhanced salt tolerance.
• Enhanced tolerance to salinity was observed in the plants transformed with Rab16A.
• All these results indicated that the overproduction of Rab16A protein in the transgenics enable them to display enhanced tolerance to salinity stress with improved physiological traits.
