AAZ06207

The rice gene AAZ06207 was reported as Sub1A in 2006 by researchers from USA and The Philippines.

Annotated Information

Gene Symbol

• AAZ06207 <=> Sub1A，OsSub1A

Function

• Sub1A is an ethylene-response-factor-like gene that confers submergence tolerance to rice.

Mutation

• The presence of Sub1A is variable. A survey identified two alleles within those indica varieties that possess this gene: a tolerance-specific allele named Sub1A-1 and an intolerance-specific allele named Sub1A-2. Overexpression of Sub1A-1 in a submergence-intolerant O. sativa ssp. japonica conferred enhanced tolerance to the plants, downregulation of Sub1C and upregulation of Alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (Adh1), indicating that Sub1A-1 is a primary determinant of submergence tolerance.
