Gene Details:

• MSU gene ID: LOC_Os12g06490
• RAPdb gene ID: Os12g0162100
• Gene Symbol: OsWNK9
• Genome: MSU7 ,  IRGSP-1.0
• Species: Oryza sativa

Functional Descriptions:

• Expression of OsWNK9 in Arabidopsis conferred tolerance to salt and drought stress.
• The transcript analysis revealed that OsWNK9 was strongly down regulated under salinity, drought and ABA stress in shoots.
• The results indicated that OsWNK9 may regulate salt and drought response in ABA dependent manner.
• Constitutive expression of OsWNK9 in Arabidopsis thaliana imparted increased tolerance to salt, drought, and ABA stress.
• Subcellular localization studies of OsWNK9 showed their presence in the nucleus.
• Co-expression analysis of OsWNK9 in phosphate deficiency and arsenate stress condition predicted various proteins including membrane transporter and transcription factors.
• Protein-protein interaction analysis of OsWNK9 predicted interaction partners with protein kinase and oxidative stress-responsive protein.
• Overexpression of rice OsWNK9 promotes arsenite tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis plants.
• Taken together, our results, for the first time, provide evidence that OsWNK9 could positively mediate arsenite stress tolerance in plants.
• In the present study, we have characterized Arabidopsis overexpressed lines of OsWNK9 regulated by the constitutive promoter under arsenite stress.
• Moreover, we have performed In silico expression analysis of OsWNK9 under nutrient deficiency and heavy metal stress.
