Information
- Symbol: OsCRP1
- MSU: LOC_Os09g39180
- RAPdb: Os09g0565200
Publication
- OsCRP1, a Ribonucleoprotein Gene, Regulates Chloroplast mRNA Stability That Confers Drought and Cold Tolerance, 2021, Int J Mol Sci.
Genbank accession number
Key message
- An RNA-immunoprecipitation assay revealed that OsCRP1 is associated with a set of chloroplast RNAs
- Additionally, overexpression of OsCRP1 resulted in significantly enhanced drought and cold stress tolerance with higher ATP levels compared to wild type
- Thus, our findings suggest that overexpression of OsCRP1 stabilizes a set of mRNAs from genes of the NDH complex involved in increasing CET activity and production of ATP, which consequently confers enhanced drought and cold tolerance
- Importantly, the OsCRP1 overexpressing plants showed a higher cyclic electron transport (CET) activity, which is essential for elevated levels of ATP for photosynthesis
