• Information
  • Symbol: AlaAT,OsAlaAT1
  • MSU: LOC_Os10g25130
  • RAPdb: Os10g0390500
• Publication
  • Molecular characterization of a gene for alanine aminotransferase from rice Oryza sativa, 1999, Plant Mol Biol.
  • Alanine aminotransferase 1 OsAlaAT1 plays an essential role in the regulation of starch storage in rice endosperm., 2015, Plant Sci.
  • Bin-based genome-wide association studies reveal superior alleles for improvement of appearance quality using a 4-way MAGIC population in rice, 2020, J Adv Res.
• Genbank accession number
  • AB007404
• Key message
  • These results suggest that AlaAT is involved in nitrogen metabolism during the maturation of rice seed
  • A cDNA clone encoding alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT) has isolated from randomly sequenced clones derived from a cDNA library of maturing rice seeds by comparison to previously identified genes
  • OsAlaAT1 is predominantly expressed in developing seeds during active starch synthesis
  • Thus, our observations suggest that OsAlaAT1 plays an essential role in starch synthesis in developing seeds that are exposed to low concentrations of oxygen
  • Alanine aminotransferase (OsAlaAT1) modulates nitrogen utilization, grain yield, and quality in rice
• Connection
