  • MSU: LOC_Os01g68770
  • RAPdb: Os01g0916400
• Publication
  • Enhanced Resistance to Blast Fungus and Bacterial Blight in Transgenic Rice Constitutively ExpressingOsSBP, a Rice Homologue of Mammalian Selenium-binding Proteins, 2014, Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry.
• Genbank accession number
  • AB059401
• Key message
  • Additionally, the OsSBP protein might have a role in modulating the defense mechanism to biotic stress in rice
  • The rice Oryza sativa selenium-binding protein homologue (OsSBP) gene encodes a homologue of mammalian selenium-binding proteins, and it has been isolated as one of the genes induced by treating a plant with a cerebroside elicitor from rice blast fungus
  • Plants overexpressing OsSBP showed enhanced resistance to a virulent strain of rice blast fungus as well as to rice bacterial blight
  • The expression of defense-related genes and the accumulation of phytoalexin after infection by rice blast fungus were accelerated in the OsSBP overexpressors
  • Enhanced Resistance to Blast Fungus and Bacterial Blight in Transgenic Rice Constitutively ExpressingOsSBP, a Rice Homologue of Mammalian Selenium-binding Proteins
  • The possible role of OsSBP in plant defense was evaluated by using a transgenic approach
  • These results suggest that the upregulation of OsSBP expression conferred enhanced tolerance to different pathogens, possibly by increasing plant sensitivity to endogenous defense responses
