- Key message
- Transgenic rice lines over-expressing (OX) OsALMT4 released malate from the roots constitutively and had two-fold higher malate concentrations in the xylem sap than nulls indicating greater concentrations of malate in the apoplast
- We show that OsALMT4 is expressed in roots and shoots and the OsALMT4 protein localizes to the plasma membrane
- Altered Expression of the Malate-Permeable Anion Channel OsALMT4 Reduces the Growth of Rice Under Low Radiance.
- Growth of transgenic lines with either increased OsALMT4 expression or reduced expression was measured in different environments
- Altering OsALMT4 expression compromises growth in low-light environments
- Here, we show that OsALMT4 is expressed widely in roots, shoots, flowers, and grain but not guard cells
- Malate efflux from the transgenic plants over-expressing OsALMT4 was inhibited by niflumate and salicylic acid
- When day-time light was reduced from 700 to 300
mol m-2s-1 independent transgenic lines with either increased or decreased OsALMT4 expression accumulated less biomass compared to their null controls - Previous studies showed that OsALMT4 localizes to the plasma membrane and that expression in transgenic rice lines results in a constitutive release of malate from the roots
