• Information
  • Symbol: OsGMST1
  • MSU: LOC_Os02g17500
  • RAPdb: Os02g0274900
• Publication
  • Reduced expression of a gene encoding a Golgi localized monosaccharide transporter OsGMST1 confers hypersensitivity to salt in rice Oryza sativa, 2011, J Exp Bot.
• Genbank accession number
  • AK060819
• Key message
  • OsGMST1 expression is induced by salt treatment and reduced expression confers hypersensitivity to salt stress in rice
  • OsGMST1 may play a direct or an indirect role in tolerance to salt stress in rice
  • Reduced expression of a gene encoding a Golgi localized monosaccharide transporter (OsGMST1) confers hypersensitivity to salt in rice (Oryza sativa)
  • In this study, reversed genetics was used to identify OsGMST1 as a member of the monosaccharide transporter family in rice
  • The predicted 481 amino acid protein has the typical features of a sugar transporter in the plastid glucose transporter subfamily consistent with reduced monosaccharide accumulation in plants with reduced OsGMST1 expression
