• Information
  • Symbol: MFP,AIM1
  • MSU: LOC_Os02g17390
  • RAPdb: Os02g0274100
• Publication
  • Identification of a rice RNA- and microtubule-binding protein as the multifunctional protein, a peroxisomal enzyme involved in the beta -oxidation of fatty acids, 2002, J Biol Chem.
  • ABNORMAL INFLORESCENCE MERISTEM1 Functions in Salicylic Acid Biosynthesis to Maintain Proper Reactive Oxygen Species Levels for Root Meristem Activity in Rice., 2017, Plant Cell.
• Genbank accession number
  • C26129
• Key message
  • The reduced root meristem activity of aim1 results from reduced salicylic acid (SA) levels and can be rescued by SA application
  • Like SA, ROS application substantially increased root length and root meristem activity in aim1
  • These results suggest that AIM1 is required for root growth in rice due to its critical role in SA biosynthesis: SA maintains root meristem activity through promoting ROS accumulation by inducing the activity of WRKY transcriptional repressors, which repress the expression of redox and ROS-scavenging genes
