• Information
  • Symbol: OsMIOX
  • MSU: LOC_Os06g36560
  • RAPdb: Os06g0561000
• Publication
  • OsMIOX, a myo-inositol oxygenase gene, improves drought tolerance through scavenging of reactive oxygen species in rice Oryza sativa L., 2012, Plant Sci.
• Genbank accession number
  • AK068862
  • AK103977
  • AK068862
  • AK103977
• Key message
  • OsMIOX was expressed predominantly in the roots and induced by drought, H(2)O(2), salt, cold and abscisic acid
  • Together, these data suggest that OsMIOX has a specific function in drought stress tolerance by decreasing oxidative damage
  • OsMIOX, a myo-inositol oxygenase gene, improves drought tolerance through scavenging of reactive oxygen species in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
  • The transgenic rice lines overexpressing OsMIOX showed obviously improved growth performance in the medium containing 200 mM mannitol
• Connection
  • OsGGP, OsMIOX, Ascorbate biosynthesis and its involvement in stress tolerance and plant development in rice Oryza sativa L.., KO of two isoforms of GDP-D-mannose epimerase (OsGME) reduced the foliar AsA level by 20-30 %, and KO of GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase (OsGGP) by 80 %, while KO of myo-inositol oxygenase (OsMIOX) did not affect foliar AsA levels
