Information
- Symbol: OsECS
- MSU: LOC_Os05g03820
- RAPdb: Os05g0129000
Publication
- Homologous expression of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase increases grain yield and tolerance of transgenic rice plants to environmental stresses, 2013, J Plant Physiol.
Genbank accession number
Key message
- Under paddy field conditions, OsECS-overexpression in transgenic rice plants increased rice grain yield (TGW) and improved biomass
- Our findings suggest that increases in grain yield by OsECS overexpression could improve crop yields under natural environmental conditions
- Overall, our results show that OsECS overexpression in transgenic rice increases tolerance and germination rate in the presence of abiotic stress by improving redox homeostasis via an enhanced GSH pool
