Information
- Symbol: SPDT
- MSU: LOC_Os06g05160
- RAPdb: Os06g0143700
Publication
- Reducing phosphorus accumulation in rice grains with an impaired transporter in the node., 2016, Nature.
Genbank accession number
Key message
- SPDT is expressed in the xylem region of both enlarged- and diffuse-vascular bundles of the nodes, and encodes a plasma-membrane-localized transporter for phosphorus
- These results indicate that SPDT functions in the rice node as a switch to allocate phosphorus preferentially to the grains
