The gene Os03g0742900 which encodes Oryza sativa indoleacetic acid 13(OsIAA13) is involved in auxin signaling and controls the expression of genes that are required for lateral root initiation in rice[1].

Annotated Information

Function

A rice gain-of-function mutant, Osiaa13, contains a single amino acid substitution (G to A, which resulted in a single amino acid substitution, glycine (G) to serine (S), in the core sequence in domain II of OsIAA13 required for the degradation of the OsIAA13 protein). The Osiaa13 mutant displayed typical auxin-related phenotypes: the number of lateral roots was significantly reduced and the root gravitropic response was defective. Osiaa13 mutants also exhibited altered GUS staining controlled by the DR5 promoter in lateral root initiation sites. Furthermore, expression levels of several genes that might be associated with lateral root initiation were altered in Osiaa13[1].

Expression

Comparison of the expression levels of candidate genes between wild-type and Osiaa13 plants revealed that 7 genes are downregulated and 2 genes are upregulated in Osiaa13. The expression levels of 7 genes (Os03g0659700, Os07g0669500,Os09g0531600, Os06g0697000, Os07g0539400, Os12g0577700,and Os03g0399800) were downregulated, and those of 2 genes (Os04g0445100 and Os08g0280200) were upregulated in Osiaa13.

Vertical bars indicate the expression levels of Osiaa13 relative to that of the wild-type, considering the expression level of the wild-type to be 100%. The genes that are downregulated (<0.7-fold) and upregulated (>1.4-fold) in Osiaa13 are indicated by bars colored dark gray and light gray, respectively.

Evolution

OsIAA13 shares high sequence similarity with OsIAA11 and OsIAA30 in rice, and with AXR2/IAA7, SLR/IAA14, IAA16, and AXR3/IAA17 in Arabidopsis[2]. It has been reported that lateral root initiation is inhibited in a SLR/IAA14 gain-of-function mutant, and in ARF7 and ARF19 loss-of-function mutants; the latter proteins interact with IAA14/SLR[3,4,5]. The gain-of-function mutant Osiaa11 showed a similar phenotype to Osiaa13: the lateral root number of Osiaa11 was reduced because of a defect in LRP initiation but the crown root number was not reduced [6]. Examination of the RiceXPro database revealed that OsIAA13, OsIAA11, and OsIAA30 show similar gene expression patterns indicating that the function of OsIAA30 might be redundant with OsIAA13 and OsIAA11 in lateral root initiation. Taken together, OsIAA13, OsIAA11, and OsIAA30 may play an important role in lateral root formation but not in crown root formation.
