- MSU: LOC_Os08g42850
- RAPdb: Os08g0541400
Publication

Genbank accession number
Key message
- Transgenic Arabidopsis and transgenic rice plants that constitutively expressed OsFKBP16-3 exhibited increased tolerance to salinity, drought and oxidative stresses, but showed no change in growth or phenotype, compared with vector control plants, when grown under non-stressed conditions
- OsFKBP16-3 was mainly expressed in rice leaf tissues and was upregulated by various abiotic stresses, including salt, drought, high light, hydrogen peroxide, heat and methyl viologen
- Here, we characterized rice OsFKBP16-3 and examined the role of this gene in the regulation of abiotic stress in plants
- The chloroplast localization of OsFKBP16-3-GFP was confirmed through the transient expression of OsFKBP16-3 in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves
